Sharing a heartfelt message alongside a photo of his late mother, Hermes expressed the deep sorrow he feels over her passing. He also reached out for prayers and support, stating, “It is with the heaviest of hearts that I would like to make public the passing of my beloved mum, Isioma Phebian Iyele, on the 5th of November 2024.”

The reality star, visibly overwhelmed, noted that he was struggling both mentally and financially with the loss. “I am doing this so I can properly start my grief and also because I currently lack the strength or capacity (mentally and finance-wise) to handle this situation,” he wrote, asking the public to pray for him and his siblings and to support them in any way possible.

Fans and well-wishers have already begun sending messages of condolence and encouragement, showing solidarity with Hermes and his family during this difficult time.
