Those present tried to comfort him, but the weight of the loss was evident on his face.
Taiwo Adegbodu, who was part of the popular Adegbodu Twins, reportedly passed away in the middle of the night of Saturday, February 28.
The news of his sudden death had earlier filtered through social media, leaving fans and colleagues in shock.
Taiwo’s passing adds to a growing list of painful losses within Nigeria’s gospel music community this year.
In January, gospel singer and evangelist Bunmi Akinaanu, widely known as Omije Ojumi, also passed away after battling illness.
Reports indicated that she had been unwell since 2025, and despite efforts to restore her health, she did not recover.

Reactions trail Yinka Ayefele's video
Legit.ng compiled the reactions of social media users below:
@D3mon_Sound stated:
"Omo! This is very sad news. I was friends with one of their younger brothers in Awe, Oyo Town. They are a very adorable family, and their singing in the Tungba style makes it even more fun. Some people criticize them for their music not meeting Christian standards, and some churches stop inviting them because of the mix of Tungba, Alujo, and Ajasa. But they are the life of every party, especially the wedding ceremony. There is no way you're not going to love their performance. May Taiwo's soul rest in peace. I ask for God’s peace, strength, and presence to help the family face each new day during their time of grief."
