Last year, to mark the 22-year remembrance of Mide’s mother, Afeez Owo shared a video of the veteran on a movie set as he expressed gratitude to his Maker, and prayed for the deceased to keep resting.
In December, while receiving the Best Actress of the Year award from OAFP, Mide knelt as she appreciated Afeez Owo for his constant support. She appreciated, as she noted how without him, there is no her. She thanked him for being there for her since she lost her mother.
For her mother’s 21st remembrance, Martins shared a video of the prayer she held for her mother which had in attendance her colleagues and important personalities like MC Oluomo, Adebayo Tijani, Ijebu, and others. Paying tribute to her mother, Mide prayed for her beautiful soul to keep resting in peace, as she affirmed that her mother would forever remain alive in her heart.
In 2021, a veteran U.S.-based actress, Ashabi Olorisha called Mide out for abandoning her late mum’s graveyard and the entire family.
Defending herself in an interview with City People, Mide said she can’t kill herself as she knows what she is doing and doesn’t need to explain herself to the public.
Following the call-out, Mide, alongside some family members, paid a visit to her late mother’s grave for the first time. This was disclosed by controversial Instagram blogger Gistlovers in a video shared online, as she mocked the actress for only remembering her mum after being mercilessly dragged online.
