Following rumours that went viral on November 15 that he had died, Rapper Oladips made a comeback to the internet on Thursday with a video to prove that the rumour is not true.
In the video, Oladips refutes the reports of his death while the soundtrack from his most recent album, “Ori” played in the background.
The embattled rapper promised to reveal the reasons behind the death hoax in a live Instagram session with his fans today, and added that this will happen once he felt better.
“Everyone Just dey talk their own. People like to talk a lot… Right now, I will just focus on getting better; when I feel like I’m good enough to address everybody, I’ll come on live and tell you people my side of the story. Na wetin I con tell you people be that. Pray for Oladips.”
Recall that Oladips became a trending topic after his management released a statement claiming that the rapper had passed away on November 14.
The management said: “We are saddened to inform the general public that Oladipupo Olabode Oladimeji aka OLA DIPS has passed away yesterday, Nov 14 (Tuesday evening), at exactly 10:14 pm. We are still in shock as we speak!
“For over 2 years, he has kept his battles within himself, his body is now with his family & funeral service will be announced as soon as it is concluded!
“The family asked that we respect their privacy in this trying time. May God give us all the fortitude to bear this great loss. Amen –Management.”
However, two days after the rapper’s death was announced, a post by singer, Qdot, who is a friend of Oladips’, claimed that he was still alive and well.
Social media users responded widely to Qdot’s disclosure, with many questioning the veracity of the death announcement.
Oladips responded to the uproar on Thursday by sharing a video of himself dancing to a song off his new album, “Superhero Adugbo,” on his Instagram account.
“Proof of life,” he captioned the video.
