The Nigerian music industry is in mourning following the sudden death of fast-rising vocalist Ifunanya, professionally known as Nanyah_music.
According to reports, the talented singer passed away on the morning of January 31, 2026, after a tragic encounter with snakes in her home.
The incident occurred early Saturday morning when she was reportedly bitten by snakes—with some sources indicating two snakes were found in her room.
