A voice note from Destiny Boy played in the background of one of the images she shared.
In her first post, Iremide addressed her late husband directly, writing:
"Oh my darling husband, look at your son. 🥺💔 The little boy you left in my arms is TWO today. I wish you could see him. I wish you could hear his voice, watch him play and see how much he has grown. I wish I didn't have to explain to him one day why other children have their daddies around and he doesn't. I am trying my best, but God knows this journey hasn't been easy. Happy 2nd birthday to our son. I hope somehow, wherever you are, you can see the beautiful boy you left behind. 🕊️❤️"
A second post showed Iremide alongside her son, accompanied by a reflection on the memories she wishes she could hold onto longer.
"Sometimes I wish I could go back to these moments and stay a little longer. 🥺❤️ You left me with the most beautiful reason to keep going. I hope I'm making you proud, my love. Forever us. 🕊️❤️"

Destiny Boy's death and autopsy
Destiny Boy died suddenly on January 18, 2026. His passing drew intense public attention, with numerous social media users demanding answers after videos of his body being taken to a mortuary circulated online.
An autopsy was eventually carried out and provided clearer answers on the cause of death. The results showed harmful levels of tramadol and its metabolites, as well as methamphetamine, in his system.
According to the report, the official cause of death was "aspiration pneumonitis resulting from the ingestion of these toxic substances."
Iremide's birthday posts serve as a painful reminder of the void the singer's death has left for his young family, as she continues to navigate life as a single mother to the son he never got to watch grow up.
