Legit.ng earlier reported that Saida Adeshina, the mother of the late singer, broke her silence amid widespread rumours surrounding her son’s death, firmly denying claims that he was involved in money rituals or sacrificed for fame.
Speaking in a viral video circulating on social media, an emotional Saida Adeshina warned Nigerians against spreading unverified stories about her son, saying anyone using his name to seek relevance would “suffer the same fate” as him.
Introducing herself as the late singer’s mother, she explained that Destiny Boy had been battling a long-term illness, which began about two years ago, shortly after the birth of his son.
According to her, Destiny and his father had visited a popular herbalist known as Ifayomi before the child’s naming ceremony, during which Destiny was initiated into Ifa worship.
She said the herbalist reportedly showed affection towards Destiny and gifted him a ram, but shortly afterwards, the singer fell ill, clutching his stomach and collapsing.
He was taken to the hospital, and the family continued to keep in touch with Ifayomi, who, she claimed, assisted them financially and reassured them that nothing would happen to Destiny.
Saida narrated that when his condition failed to improve, the herbalist asked that Destiny be brought to him.
She said she personally bathed her son with a soap provided by Ifayomi, after which he seemed to recover temporarily.
However, the illness later returned and was described as “Oku Oru,” a condition she likened to epilepsy, which caused erratic behaviour at intervals.
According to her, the family tried to manage the situation quietly to protect Destiny Boy’s image as a rising music star. They reportedly sought help from several pastors and herbalists in search of a cure, before eventually returning him to Ifayomi.

She added that she was unable to visit her son in his final days due to her health and business commitments, but became worried after repeated calls to him went unanswered. Days later, she received a late-night call informing her that his condition had worsened again.
Saida stated that Destiny’s father was with him throughout and that he appeared well enough to entertain people earlier that same day.
She also dismissed suspicions around the herbalist, noting that Ifayomi had travelled at the time and would not have done so if Destiny’s condition was critical.
