Her husband who died on January 22, 1984, was called Augustine Ayanfemi Phillips.
The big news is that Mama Rainbow is going to be 80 on 16th October 2022.
But she does not look it at all. She walks unaided. She is fit as a fiddle. When she turned 70, ten years ago that was the same comment she got. Many say Mama Rainbow looks good for her age.
