Taking to his Instagram page, RMD shared a photo of the late singer and expressed his grief over her passing.
“It’s hard to put into words the loss we feel,” he wrote.
“My dear sister and cousin, Onos Nancy Brisibi, went to be with the Lord on March 23, 2026, after a long and difficult illness. She was born on November 20, 1970, to Apostle Ambrose Oproze Brisibi (of blessed memory) and Deaconess Mary Koko Brisibi of Aladja, Udu, Delta State.
“Onos was more than family—she was love in human form. A devoted Christian, a beautiful soul, and a gifted songstress whose voice carried so much light and joy. She didn’t just sing; she ministered, lifting hearts and drawing people closer to God. She loved deeply, laughed freely, and gave so much of herself to everyone around her.”
Recalling fond memories, the actor added: “I called her ‘Onos pokor pokor,’ and in return she would call me ‘Uncle Richard’ with her playful, almost British accent. Where Warri girl wey never go England see that kind accent from? That was just who she was—full of life, humour, and charm.”
He also reflected on their childhood moments, noting that her laughter remained constant even in her final days.
“She leaves behind her daughter, Sarah, her mother, siblings, and so many of us who will carry her in our hearts always,” he wrote.
“The tears are many, but the memories are even more… I will miss you deeply, my sweet cousin. Rest in perfect peace, Onos. You were truly loved.”
Brisibi’s career spanned collaborations across the Nigerian music industry. She performed with Lagbaja on the album “No Do GraGra”, supported reggae singer Daniel Wilson on “Raggamuffin”, and worked with gospel artiste Sammie Okposo.
