The rapper’s official social media accounts, managed by his team, relayed the heartbreaking news. According to the statement, Oladips succumbed to a two-year struggle with an undisclosed illness.

    Prior to his passing, Oladips’s fans were alarmed by his Instagram posts on the night of Tuesday, November 14, 2023.

    In these posts, he expressed distress about being left alone at home, particularly given his condition. In a plea, he urgently called on his friend to come home and transport him to the hospital. The posts generated concern and heightened emotions among his followers as they witnessed his apparent urgency and distress.
