Saidat Adeshina, the mother of the late singer Adesina Afeez, who was widely known as Destiny Boy, has denied any role in her son’s de@th and dismissed claims that she placed a curse on him.
In a video that circulated online, she asked for support from Nigerians and appealed for people to stop spreading unverified stories about her.
She described the messages alleging she cursed or killed her son as false and damaging.
She said: “Whoever it is that is sharing such a barbaric voice note that I am cursing my son and I killed him, I pray that such a person will experience what I am facing.
“I do know nothing about my son’s de@th. Some people intentionally want to accuse me.
“Everyone who is cursing me out on social media will suffer my same fate.”
Watch video below:
The Ogun State Police said a suspect has been arrested in connection with Destiny Boy’s de@th.
The case is now with the State Criminal Investigation Department’s homicide unit for further investigation. Authorities have not disclosed the official cause of de@th.
Recall that Destiny Boy passed away on Sunday, January 18.
He began attracting attention after a 2019 version of Davido’s hit “If” done in a Fuji style went viral online. This helped him grow a fan base and led to more covers of songs by Nigerian stars such as Tekno, 2 Baba (2Baba), 9ice, and Small Doctor.
