According to his sister in a video that surfaced online on Thursday, August 6, 2026, attempts to unlock the device at Computer Village in Lagos proved unsuccessful, leaving the family unable to retrieve whatever was stored on it.
The situation with his bank account has been equally frustrating. The family said they have been unable to withdraw any funds from his account, which has compounded their financial difficulties following his death.
Destiny Boy's Wife and the Phone Password
His wife had previously known the phone's password, but the singer reportedly changed it after he noticed she had been making withdrawals from his bank account. Since then, neither she nor the family has been able to gain access to the device.
"Destiny’s wife too doesn’t know the password. She used to know it but when she started making some withdrawals from his bank, he changed it," the singer's sister said.
Legit.ng previously reported that Destiny Boy's wife penned a heartfelt message to their son on Children's Day. She gushed about their son, whom she showered prayers on while expressing how proud she and his late father were of him.
