Remembering Destiny Boy
Destiny Boy welcomed his first child, a baby boy nicknamed 'Junior,' on November 13, 2024. The singer died in January 2026 at just 22 years old after a sudden illness that shocked fans and the Nigerian music scene. His death, which followed a sudden illness involving vomiting white substance, sent shockwaves through social media, though family members firmly rejected suggestions of foul play.
Legit.ng also reported that Destiny Boy's father explained that life had not felt real since the burial of his son, and most of the people who showed concern at that time have since disappeared. 'Ever since my son, Destiny Boy passed away, I have not been myself. Nobody checked on me again after the burial.' He revealed that only one person has continued to stand by him, offering both financial and emotional support.
Autopsy Report Reveals Cause of Death
An autopsy report revealing the cause of death of the 22-year-old Afrofuji singer was made public. According to a report by Daily Trust, the autopsy revealed harmful levels of tramadol and its metabolites, as well as methamphetamine, in the deceased's body. The report concluded that the cause of death was 'aspiration pneumonitis resulting from the ingestion of these toxic substances.'
Fans reacted to the news, with one netizen saying, 'Sebi some Alfas came out and said it was Babalawo that used him. Time for lawsuits.'
