Commenting on the sad development, Funke Anthony expressed sympathy for the rapper while advising him to review his circle and reflect on whether he had offended anyone in the past.
She said:
"Lil Kesh is one of my favourite artists. It's so sad that something cruel like such happened to him.
However, it's important that he checks his circle, have a rethink in a bid to ascertain if he offended anyone in the past.
Attacks like such aren't ordinary as he is not the only celebrity in Nigeria."
Lil Kesh congratulates ex-lover, Priscilla Ojo
Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that Lil Kesh stirred reactions on X after congratulating Priscilla Ojo on her wedding to Tanzanian singer Juma Jux, calling her “P Coco.”
The affectionate nickname sparked renewed dating rumours, as Priscilla had featured in his 2019 music video and previously denied any romantic links.
While some teased Lil Kesh for losing her to another man, others defended his message as harmless. An old tweet where Lil Kesh tagged Priscilla also resurfaced, further fuelling the online buzz.
