The mysterious death of popular Nigerian Afrofuji singer, Destiny Boy, has taken a new turn with the emergence of a controversial video online. The clip, which has gone viral, reportedly shows the moments leading to the singer's demise, sparking intense reactions and renewed calls for a thorough investigation.
Viral Clip Fuels Speculation on Cause of Death
The video, said to be from an Instagram Live session and shared by blogger Naijaeverything, features individuals who were present during the singer's last moments. In the disturbing footage, voices can be heard discussing what the 22-year-old artist, whose real name was Afeez Adeshina, allegedly vomited before he passed away.
Those present in the video suggested two possible scenarios: that Destiny Boy may have consumed a harmful local concoction or that he might have been poisoned. It is crucial to note that no official confirmation has been provided to support these claims. The singer's death was announced months after he welcomed his first child, but the cause has remained publicly undisclosed, creating a vacuum filled with growing public speculation.
Mixed Reactions and Calls for Investigation
The video has triggered a wave of mixed reactions across social media platforms. Many fans and concerned netizens are demanding clarity and a proper probe into the circumstances surrounding the young singer's untimely death. The lack of official information has only intensified the online discourse.
Adding another layer to the mystery, a voice in the background of the video claims that prominent Fuji music stars, Pasuma and Saheed Osupa, had called to advise that Destiny Boy should not be buried yet. This statement further fueled discussions and theories about the need for a more detailed examination before burial rites are performed.
A Tragic Week for Nigerian Music
The news of Destiny Boy's controversial final moments comes amid another tragedy in the Nigerian gospel music scene. The family of singer Bunmi Akinaanu, popularly known as Omije Ojumi, confirmed her death. Reports indicate she passed away on Monday, January 13, 2026, at a hospital in Lagos after battling an illness linked to her leg since 2025.
Her death, which occurred just hours after Pastor Segun Arole asked about her in a viral video, threw her fans into mourning. A clip showing her body in the hospital, shared by fellow singer Alayo Melody, also drew reactions from the public, with some criticizing the decision to make such footage public.
As the online community reels from these losses, the focus remains heavily on the unclear circumstances of Destiny Boy's passing. The viral video has undoubtedly placed pressure on authorities and those close to the singer to provide answers and bring closure to his grieving fans and family.
