Mother of viral ‘Mummy Calm Down’ boy allegedly takes her own life

Ore rose to prominence in 2020 after a video of him begging his mother to calm down while she was rebuking him went viral.

He was thereafter invited by Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, obtained ambassadorial deals, and even appeared in a movie.

Unfortunately, three years after Ore rose to prominence, his mother apparently committed suicide for reasons unknown to her.

A social media user revealed on the microblogging platform that she left behind three children for her husband.
