Internet users and fans of Nigerian artist Oladips are currently in a state of confusion due to conflicting reports about his alleged death. The artist’s management announced on Wednesday, via his Instagram page, that Oladips passed away on Tuesday, November 14, 2023.

However, Oladips’ colleague and close acquaintance, Qdot, contradicted the death claims on Thursday, asserting that the rapper is still alive. Qdot shared a picture of Oladips on his Instagram page with the caption, “@oladipsoflife, my gee is alive.”

The conflicting information has sparked varied reactions, with some questioning the authenticity of the news and others speculating that Oladips might have “faked” his death as a promotional strategy for his recently released album, ‘Superhero Adugbo.’

Actress Bukunmi Oluwashina even deleted a tribute to Oladips from her Instagram account. Comments from social media users expressed a range of emotions, from skepticism about the news to criticism of using death for promotional purposes.

One Tobi wrote, “He’s Dead and that’s it, even if he releases a statement himself, since you people like to joke with death. This country is hard enough already to be catching baseless cruise.”

One Ada wrote, “There should be a penalty for this level of clout chasing if this is true.”

One Chukwu wrote, “You are officially dead to us. RIP Oladips. Promotion no suppose hard like this.”

“Sadly, people only show you love when you’re dead, I can’t blame him for this promotion strategy shah cuz they wouldn’t have streamed his songs if he didn’t do it like this,” one Emma reacted.

One Ozo wrote, “If this is true, then he went too extreme … imagine using death as a joke??? Una wan Dey whine God???”

Nigerian rapper Omoniyi Temidayo, popularly known as Zlatan, has revealed that his journey into music began after he failed a mathematics exam that cost him university admission.

Speaking on Apple Music 1 with Nandi Madida, the “Zanku” crooner said his latest album, Symbol of Hope, mirrors his struggles and aims to inspire others from humble beginnings.

“I used to listen to music before I ever thought I’d make it. Now that my songs inspire people not to give up, I see myself as a symbol of hope,” he said.

Zlatan explained that after failing his exams in 2011, he began visiting a studio with a friend.

“The first song I recorded was terrible, but my siblings made me feel like Jay-Z,” he recalled.

His breakthrough came in university when he won a rap competition out of 140 contestants. “That was when I started taking music seriously,” he said.

Zlatan also spoke about creating the viral “Zanku” dance, short for Zlatan Abeg No Kill Us, saying it fulfilled his dream of owning a signature move that took Africa to the world.
