Legit.ng earlier reported that Destiny Boy’s death was initially announced by Instagram journalist Temilola Sobola, but fans dismissed it as another false alarm.
His youthful energy and growing reputation as a Fuji‑Afrobeats fusion star made the news difficult to believe.
Soon after, rumours began to spread about the circumstances of his death. Some claimed he collapsed and vomited blood at a traditional healer’s house, while others alleged he was poisoned.
Clips from Yoruba Ifa initiation rites also circulated online, sparking debates about whether his death was linked to ritual practices.
However, none of these claims have been officially confirmed, leaving fans with unanswered questions.
Destiny Boy died months after welcoming his first child, a detail that deepened the grief of his supporters.
The arrival of his remains in Ayetoro has left fans and community members heartbroken.
