Popular Nigerian hypeman and media personality Oladotun Ojuolape Kayode, widely known as Do2dtun, has reacted strongly after a disturbing post surfaced online on Sunday, 8 March.

The message even carried a supposed screenshot from Adekunle Gold’s Instagram page, offering condolences.
Do2dtun, who came across the post, did not hold back in his response. He explained that the act was nothing but a desperate attempt to chase engagement and earn money from X’s ad revenue system, introduced under Elon Musk.
He expressed shock that anyone could boldly spread such a falsehood about a child.
“All for Elon money right! No be all engagement Dey bring peace. This one go choke you. What sort of nonsense is this. How is this even possible that, you had the audacity to even do this. All for engagement?”
The claim was quickly flagged as misinformation through community notes on X.
Users pointed out that no credible news outlet had reported such a tragedy and that Adekunle Gold’s verified accounts still show recent happy family posts.
