At first, many fans doubted reports of Destiny Boy’s death, with some believing the news was false. However, those doubts were put to rest after a video surfaced showing his remains being driven to Ayetoro. That footage convinced many Nigerians that the singer had truly passed on.
Outrage Over Destiny Boy's Father’s Remarks
The backlash began when another video emerged showing Destiny Boy’s father talking about his son’s car instead of the tragedy of his death. Many social media users described his comments as insensitive, questioning why the car seemed to be his main concern at such a difficult time.
In the video, Destiny Boy’s father explained that he and his son went together to buy the car from a Lagos-based dealer, Lincoln Autos. According to him, the car dealer provided a driver to take Destiny Boy home, and the driver had been with the family for about five weeks. However, he claimed the driver eventually returned the car to the dealer due to money-related issues.
He said in the viral clip:
“The car company gave Destiny Boy a driver to bring him home and the driver has been with us for five weeks, taking us around. Because Destiny Boy did not give him money, he returned the car to Lincoln Autos. Assuming the car was with me, I would’ve driven him.”
