In a video making waves online, Tobi alleged that the singer is alive and well. He also framed the recent death reports as a publicity stunt akin to rapper Oladips’ 2023 fake death prank.

Recall that in the case of Oladips, his management announced his passing in a social media post. However, a day after the announcement, Oladips posted a video on his Instagram story using the same handle.

Tobi advised Nigerians to be careful about what they believe on social media.

“There’s nothing wrong with Destiny Boy, he’s alive. This is how Oladips also pranked us. Nigerians are always quick to believe everything,” Tobi Nation said in part in a viral video.

Destiny Boy, a 22-year-old Afrofuji artist known for hits like One Ticket, reportedly died suddenly on January 18, 2026.

Unverified videos showed his body being prepared for burial in Abeokuta, fuelling widespread online speculation.

However, since the reports went viral, Destiny Boy’s management has not shared a statement confirming or debunking the reports of his death.
