Nigerians have taken to social media to react to the news that young rapper Oladipupo Olabode Oladimeji, aka Oladips, faked his death to promote his upcoming album.
On Thursday, November 17, a couple of days after the news of Oladips’ demise went viral, his best friend Wavy TK went online to debunk the report, noting that the rapper was still alive.
This came after the rapper’s management had shared a post on his social media page confirming the rapper’s death.
Fans insist on holding a burial ceremony for Oladips
A video of Oladips eating Rice and Turkey was released by Wavy TK to confirm that the artist was still alive.
However, many netizens have refused to accept that Oladips isn’t dead as they insist on holding a candlelight and burial ceremony for him.
Some netizens have noted that going through with the burial ceremony would deter other artists from faking their deaths to promote their music.
