The singer died in Ibadan on October 14, 2026, after reportedly slumping. Since his death, discussions about his final resting place have become a major issue between his widow and members of his family.
Toluwanisings' father, Muniru Adekunle Olayemi, had said he wanted his son buried either at the family home or in Ikirun, Osun State, where the singer's late mother was laid to rest.
His paternal uncle, Lawal Ademola, also said the family preferred burying him at his residence in Ibadan.

Reacting to the disagreement in a recent video, Fabiyi appealed to Elizabeth to respect the wishes of her late husband's family.
The actor said the singer's father had not spoken ill of his son and urged the widow to allow the burial arrangements to proceed without further disagreement.
He said:
"I would advise his wife to allow her husband to be buried according to the wishes and plans of his family. After all, Toluwanisings' father has not said anything evil against his late son. She should allow peace to reign in the family and let the burial process go on without further controversy."
Fabiyi also questioned the arguments in favour of burying the singer in a cemetery.
He alleged that some people advocating for such an arrangement could later exhume the remains for rituals, claiming they knew the singer was gifted and popular.
However, he provided no evidence to support the allegation.
