Nigerian performers Cobhams, Basketmouth, and Praiz, recently joined family, friends and commanders of industries to eulogise and celebrate the life of late Martin Mabutho.
Cobhams, at an event held in honour of Mabutho, said it’s saddened him that he never got to see what the late Martin looked like. He said the late Mabutho was his benefactor and it’s painful that he never got to see what he looked like, hence, the pain he has been feeling since he learned of his death.
