Friend Speaks on Possible Cause of Death
While the exact circumstances surrounding Destiny Boy's death had been subject to rumors, his friend used her platform to share her perspective on what might have led to the tragedy. Her statements, as earlier detailed in a report by Legit.ng, pointed towards a prolonged sickness that the singer battled bravely.
In an emotional video, she elaborated on his struggle: "You've tried, you tried all your possibilities just to overcome this sickness ? in every situation ??. With all our prayers, all our sleepless nights—if Destiny Boy slept, no one could sleep, because sleep wouldn’t come ??. The thing is beyond your power and your age ???."
She emphasized the collective effort of his family and friends, stating, "We all tried—your dad tried, your mom, and also your friends ??️?—but death has taken you away from us." Her tribute painted a picture of a fierce but ultimately unsuccessful battle against an illness that offered only brief moments of relief.
Community Mourns a Lost Star
The viral post has resonated deeply with fans and followers, turning the TikTok page into a space for collective mourning. The shared WhatsApp chat offered a raw, intimate glimpse into the personality of the departed musician, far removed from his stage persona.
This incident follows other commentaries on his death, including from an oracle worshipper who suggested his lifestyle may have impacted his health. However, Destiny Boy's friend firmly focused on his fight against sickness and dismissed other speculative rumors.
The loss of Afeez Adeshina (Destiny Boy), described by his friend as "the only glory of AYETORO," has undoubtedly left a void in the Fuji music scene and in the hearts of those who knew him personally.
