The obituary post on the Instagram page of Nigerian singer Oladipupo Oladimeji, aka Oladips, has been deleted.
The post was deleted on Thursday.
A new video showing Oladips vibing to a song from his new album, Superhero Adugbo has, however, been posted on the Instagram page.
News surfaced on November 11 that the rapper had died following a health issue he had allegedly been battling with for months.
The death of Oladips has, however, become contentious with social media reports saying he is still alive.
It would be recalled that an old friend of the late Nigerian rapper Oladips, going by Wavy, has clarified that his viral posts claiming that the rapper is alive were simply him being in denial.
In the new video posted to his Instagram page, he apologised for the unrest caused by his posts, which made Nigerians question if the rapper was truly dead, as announced on November 15, 2023.
Wavy stated that the viral video he posted yesterday, November 16, 2023, was two years old, and that he was simply in denial of his friend’s death and wanted to believe otherwise.
He began, “Concerning my video trending about the death of Oladips, I want to clear everybody that the video that you see me with Oladips has been over two years old. That video is old, and number two, I’m not sure if he’s dead or alive. I was just like ‘no, he can’t be dead,’ ‘it’s not possible for Oladips to be dead,’ that’s the only reason why I put it out there that he’s alive.”
