Singer Harrison Tare Okiri, famously known as Harrysongreconciled with his step mum, Mrs. Tonye Okiri at his
father’s burial in Warri Delta state yesterday, May 2.
The burial, which turned out a carnival, also served as an
opportunity for Harrysong and his step mother to bury
their long hatchet. Before the burial commenced proper,
elders of the Okiri family called a family meeting with
Harrysong and his step mom in attendance where they
were both advised to sheath their swords.
The reconciliation didn’t end there as the singer further
made it public during his performance, where he sang a
special rendition of his song, ‘Story’ to the delight of his
kinsmen and the crowd in attendance.
Recall that a few months ago Harrysong released a song
titled Story, where he told the story of his life as well as
the harsh treatment he received from his step mom. The
whole story was yesterday re-written, when he performed
another version of the song and said his step mother,
showed him love.
Analyzing why he sang the song, Harry said,
“I sang the earlier version of this song out of anger, but
today, I have assumed the position of a father and a
husband since my father is no more and I have realized
that my step mom actually used those extreme
correctional measures because she loves me and because I
have released my mistake, I’m doing this version of the
song to tell the world how much she loves me.
His step mom who was full of tears all through the
performance at the family meeting, also apologized to
Harrysong for treating him badly then.
Harrysong lightened his hometown, Ogbe Ijoh with an
electrifying performance alongside his record label boss,
Kcee, who didn’t disappoint the massive crowed cheering ,
singing along and danced with him.
