The man, identified as @bissiriyu on X, said he went to research about Destiny Boy and shared what he found out on social media.

He said in his X post:

"After news broke this morning that a certain 22-year old Destiny Boy had died, I began to do research on who the person was as I have never heard of the name until the news broke.
“I have read various narratives as regards what killed him and I have also seen a few videos of him including the one uploaded by his people showing him lying still with cotton wool in his mouth and ears.
“Two of the narratives are that he died at a herbalist house and also vomited blood before he died.”

He added:

“I also saw another video showing him being initiated into a traditional cult.
“From all indications, Destiny Boy apparently lives a fast life beyond his destiny. This could be as a result of the impatience of youth to make money and fame by all means. May God rest his soul and comfort the family he left behind.”
