Resurrected’ rapper, Oladipupo Oladimeji, better known as Oladips has finally addressed claims that he faked his death for music clout.
It would be recalled that the rapper’s management had on November 15, announced that he passed away, after which the rapper’s 17-track album titled ‘Superhero Adugbo’ was released.
The news of his death became contentious with social media reports, including his friend, Qdot claiming he is still alive.
The singer had equally shared a video evidence to prove that he was alive, thus, fueling further rumors that he faked his death to promote his new project.
However, reacting on the whole saga on Thursday, Oladips, took to his Instagram stories to call out Qudus Fakoya, the singer fondly called Qdot accusing him of “misleading everyone” about his health struggle during the death controversy.
He also chided an individual purported to be the source of the claim that he has been healthy all the while without any health struggles.
He noted that the video shared by the unnamed individual was done a while back at a place he had stayed and challenged him to provide facts to his claims.
Oladips said that the footage protraying him as being alive which was shared on social media during the death controversy were all old videos he made some couple of years ago. He stressed that he never made a video of himself to admit the death controversy was a prank.
The rapper then blamed the rumours on his associates in the music industry but didn’t tell the full story of what transpired.
He wrote,
“I know there is cruise, there is clout, and then there is truth…!!! “Qdot the reason why you posted ‘My gee is alive’ at a time my family was unsure of my situation is so appalling & uncalled for. “I dey where I dey struggle with my life you dey post ‘my gee is alive’. Unnecessarily misleading everyone. Made it look like me and you just had a conversation. “Cos why una dey always do like this for this industry tori Olorun? “And to the stupid boy that posted that I was eating turkey & rice say I dey ‘set ring light’, even posted a video of us hugging each other, making it look like I pranked Nigerians or pulled a stunt, for the record. That video he posted is ‘2 years old’. I get proof… the video was made at my house in Orchid, crazy thing yeah? I don’t even live in that house anymore. tey tey sef.”In another post, the rapper wrote:
“There was never a video or post of me telling Nigerians ‘heyyy everyone it’s a prank!!!’ it was all speculation based on hearsay and clout chasing, bloggers misleading gullible Nigerians for likes & comments, and the smart ones know how to put 1&2 together so I am not bothered… I was not with my phones or online all that period. Sheybi nah person wey even dey healthy dey remember social media!“ANYWAYS, just in case I’m not as accessible or as kind as I used to be. nah people like this boy cause am cos nah help I help the boy, that short clip he posted almost ruined me and I don’t think he understands the gravity of what he’s done yet! but he will.”
