Nigerian rapper Oladips, who was previously reported to have passed away by his management, has come forward with new evidence to prove that he is alive and well.

The confirmation was revealed in a recent Instagram story shared by Oladips.

In the video, captioned in Yoruba language “Orisha bi Iya Kosi” (There is no deity like a mother), he can be seen casually hanging out outside his house with an elderly woman, who is believed to be his grandmother.

Recall that close friends and associates of Oladips claimed he had passed away following a hospital emergency.

However, the obituary post on the singer’s Instagram page has since been deleted.

The news of his demise was shared by his management on Wednesday morning via the rapper’s official Instagram page.

The management wrote: “We are saddened to inform the general public that Oladipupo Olabode Oladimeji aka OLA DIPS has passed away yesterday Nov’14 Tuesday evening, at exactly 10:14 pm. We are still in shock as we speak!

“For over 2 years he has kept his battles within himself, his body is now with his family & funeral service will be announced as soon as it is concluded!

“The family asked that we respect their privacy in this trying time. May God give us all the fortitude to bear this great loss. (Amen) -Management,” the statement reads.

Fans and celebrities alike expressed sorrow and condolences in response to this shocking news, which went viral online.

The fact that the grieving took place soon after the untimely demise of another prominent individual, Mohbad, made it especially sad.

Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Seyi Awolowo, has vowed never to return to the show if given the opportunity.

Featuring in a recent episode of the Old Secrets podcast, Awolowo lamented that he allowed himself to be bullied by “very low, insignificant and uneducated people” by accepting to be on the show and vowed not to allow that again.

He explained that if he could go back in time, he still wouldn’t change any of his actions in the house, stressing that he has already been chastised and have learned from his mistakes.

He, however, lamented the attitude of some educated elites who also joined in bullying out of convenience.

“I will never go back to the show, Multichoice can’t even call me…

“I allow myself get bullied by very very insignificant and uneducated people. Not to mention the educated ones amongst that have the ability to see the truth but because of convenience, refused to stand by it,” he said.
