Oyinlomo Diamond's message to BBO
The entertainer made clear she understood why BBO had chosen to step back from the public eye. Rather than criticise his absence, she praised him for not using his grief as a moment for social media attention, calling his restraint a sign of genuine mourning.
"I love how genuine you are even in death. I love how you didn't chase clout with his death," she wrote.
However, her message carried a deeper layer of worry. She urged BBO not to let grief consume him to the point of damaging his own health, reminding him that Toluwanisings' immediate family would need him in the weeks and months ahead.
"We can't afford to lose you too," she wrote, adding that BBO should take time to rest, reflect, and recharge before returning to the demands of his career.
