LAGOS — The Nigerian entertainment landscape has been thrown into mourning following the death of veteran Juju and Highlife musician, Janet Iyun Ajilore, popularly known as St. Janet.
The vibrant entertainer, widely celebrated for her electrifying stagecraft, pulsating live performances, and socially unfiltered party anthems, died on Saturday following a brief illness. Often referred to by her devoted fanbase as the “Mummy G.O of St. Bottle’s Cathedral” or the “Sinners’ Chapel,” the late artist carved a unique space in contemporary Nigerian music culture.
Over the decades, St. Janet grew into a cultural phenomenon, becoming a favorite fixture among a new generation of urban music lovers and high-profile celebrities. Her signature blend of traditional rhythms with uninhibited lyrical delivery made her a dominant force across the Lagos nightlife and party circuit.
In the wake of her sudden passing, sympathizers, colleagues, and grieving fans have begun thronging her residence in Alagbado, Lagos State, to offer condolences to her children and family members.
The passing of St. Janet marks the end of an era for a distinctly audacious voice in live Nigerian band music, leaving behind a legacy of unforgettable performances and deep-rooted cultural resonance.
