His burial, announced by family representative Alabi Gbenga, drew friends, family, and fans to the somber ceremony.

 

Emotional scenes unfolded as his body was transported in a white ceremonial vehicle, carried on a local mat to its final resting place, accompanied by the cries of grieving loved ones.

 

The family remembered the artiste as a “kind-hearted, humble, and exceptionally hardworking young man”.

 

They highlighted his passion for music, which led to collaborations on songs across Nigeria, noting that his work and spirited personality left a “lasting impact on all who knew him”.

 

Saidat Adeshina, Destiny Boy’s mum, previously explained that her son’s health struggles began two years ago during preparations for the naming ceremony of his first child.

 

She said the family exhaustively pursued every possible solution — both medical and traditional — to find a cure.

 

The period following his death was marred by controversy after an audio clip went viral, purportedly featuring Saidat cursing her son.

 

The clip prompted denials from both Destiny Boy’s sister and mother, who dismissed any suggestion of malice.

 

Saidat also claimed that she has received death threats in connection with her son’s passing.

 

On Monday, the Ogun state police command arrested one suspect in connection with the singer’s death.
