Ifunanya Nwangene, 1999 – 2026

Nigerian singer Ifunanya Nwangene, 26, died on Jan. 29, when she was bitten by a snake while sleeping in her Abuja apartment. She was rushed to the hospital, but doctors could not find the right antivenin to save her (a cobra was later found in her apartment!). Nwangene sang as NANYAH on her YouTube channel, was a member of the AMEMUSO choir, and had just recently appeared on the Nigerian version of The Voice.
