According to the statement, Mitchy’s condition was critical when she was admitted, and doctors did everything possible to save her life.
The statement read in part:
“We are deeply heartbroken to share that our beloved Michelle has passed on. Despite all efforts from the medical team here in Abuja, we were told her condition was critical, and sadly, she could not be revived.”
Describing her as “more than a talent,” the management said she was family — full of life, light, and dreams.
They also appealed to the public for prayers and understanding while requesting privacy for her grieving family.
In a heartbreaking addition, the statement revealed that her mother reportedly collapsed in Lagos upon hearing the news and was taken to a hospital.
King Mitchy's battle with backlash over philanthropic project
The tragic development comes after weeks of intense online drama involving the influencer.
King Mitchy had been locked in a public feud with online critic VeryDarkMan over claims surrounding her philanthropic projects.
She had boldly stated that she renovated a school within six days and challenged the activist to provide her with N50 million to renovate four additional schools. The dispute escalated when questions were raised about her funding sources and business activities.
Amid the back-and-forth, Mitchy lost access to her business Instagram page and accused her critic of playing a role in its suspension.
In an attempt to defend her reputation, she shared what she claimed was a WhatsApp conversation with the Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, in which the monarch allegedly praised her work.
However, the palace later denied the authenticity of the chat, prompting Mitchy to issue an apology.
