A close associate of late Afrobeat singer Destiny Boy has come forward to address the growing wave of speculation and misinformation surrounding the artiste’s sudden death, calling on the public to exercise restraint and compassion during this difficult time.
The associate, whose identity was not disclosed, shared a video online in which he explained that the young singer had been dealing with a health challenge before his passing, contrary to several unverified claims circulating on social media.
According to him, Destiny Boy had been managing the illness for some time, with those around him fully aware of his condition and making conscious efforts to ensure he received care and support.
He emphasized that the situation was not one of neglect, stressing that medical and personal efforts were made to stabilize the singer before his death.
He said …
“I want to do this video before everyone starts spreading wrong information about what killed Destiny boy. Destiny boy had an illness he was managing, before he died, and everything possible was done but it was God’s wish he died. May God look after the son and family he left behind. Death is inevitable for everyone our prayer should be that we live a long and purposeful life.”
The statement has since sparked emotional reactions online, with many fans expressing sadness while appreciating the clarification provided to curb false narratives.
As of the time of filing this report, no official statement has been released by Destiny Boy’s family or management confirming the exact cause of death, leaving many details still unaddressed.
Despite this, tributes continue to pour in from fans, colleagues, and industry figures who remember Destiny Boy for his talent, vibrant energy, and impact on the Afrobeat scene at such a young age.
Many have also extended prayers and condolences to the family he left behind, particularly his child, while urging the public to allow the family mourn in peace.
