In April this year, the singer deactivated all her social media handles to mourn her late husband, John Apewajoye. “My husband Beloved John Apewajoye has gone to be with the lord… I humbly ask for your prayers during this difficult time,” wrote Matete on Facebook. Apewajoye’s body lay at the Kenyatta National Hospital morgue until July 23, when she was allowed to bury him. The Nigerian Embassy had initially barred Matete from burying her husband until investigations into the circumstances in which he died were complete.
According to the former Tusker Project Fame (TPF) winner, Apewajoye succumbed to burns after a gas cylinder exploded at their house. However, her Nigerian in-laws suspected foul play. On April 23, Chief government Pathologist Johansen Oduor revealed that Matete’s husband died due to multiple organ failure after suffering 60 percent burns.
