According to the singer's sister, Oba Edu never once reached out to the family after Destiny Boy passed away.
She alleged that the priest instructed the family to purchase a burial plot rather than offering any form of comfort or solidarity.
Family alleges threats against Destiny Boy's father
Destiny Boy's sister went further, claiming that Oba Edu told their father to stop expressing his grief loudly within his compound, and that security personnel were reportedly given instructions to physically restrain him if he did not comply.
"He even told my dad to stop shouting in his compound. He instructed his security to put handcuffs on my dad's hands if he refused to keep quiet," she said.
She also noted that Destiny Boy had been in good health right up until his death, which occurred at 8pm on a Saturday evening as he was preparing to leave for a performance.
Oba Edu, she claimed, did not shed a single tear upon hearing of the Afrobeats and Fuji singer's passing.
"Destiny boy died at 8pm on Saturday when he was preparing to go for his show and he was not sick before. Oba Edu didn’t shed a single tear when Destiny Boy died. We leave everything in God’s hands."
Destiny Boy died in January 2026 at just 22 years old following a sudden illness that left fans and the Nigerian music community in shock.
His death has since been surrounded by controversy, with this latest video adding fresh fuel to the ongoing debate.
