Big Brother Naija star Hermes Iyele has shared the heartbreaking news of his mother’s passing. Hermes took to his Instagram on November 5, 2024, to announce the death of his mother, Isioma Phebian Iyele. In his post, he revealed that he was currently on a work trip when he received the news, and he expressed his struggles with both the emotional and financial burden of handling the situation.
Hermes wrote, “It is with the heaviest of hearts that I’d like to make public the passing of my beloved mum, ISIOMA PHEBIAN IYELE, on the 5th of November 2024. I’m doing this so I can properly start my grief and also because I currently lack the strength or capacity (mentally and finance-wise) to handle this situation. Please pray for my siblings and me. Please support us in all the ways you can.”
The reality star, known for his time on BBNaija, explained that he was trying his best to stay focused on his work commitments while also managing the tragedy of his loss. He requested patience from his fans and followers, as he may not be able to respond to messages immediately. “We will start the burial process as soon as I’m back,” he added.
The loss of Hermes’ mother follows a string of recent celebrity deaths, including those of skit maker Nasty Blaq, singer Flavour’s father, and actress Faithia Williams’ father, among others. Many in the entertainment industry, including fellow celebrities, have expressed their condolences and support to Hermes during this difficult time.
As Hermes navigates this challenging period, he urged his followers to continue praying for his family and offering support where possible.
