December 04, (THEWILL) – Abdulrasheed Opeyemi, the personal assistant of Nigerian rapper, Oladipupo Oladimeji, aka Oladips, has disclosed that the rapper, who was recently declared dead by his management, died for three days before he came back to life.
On November 14, Oladips’ death was announced by his management following an ailment he battled with for two years.
“We are saddened to inform the general public that Oladipupo Olabode Oladimeji, aka Oladips, passed away yesterday, November 14, Tuesday evening, at exactly 10:14 pm. We are still in shock as we speak!
“For over two years, he has kept his battles within himself; his body is now with his family. 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),” a statement from his management read.
“I don’t know how to say this. It was a misinterpretation by the manager who has access to Oladips’ page. We all thought he was dead because he was not breathing until the third day when he was revived. By then, the manager had already shared the story. Even I could not reach him until the third day,” he said.
Asked where the rapper was for the three days, Abdulrasheed responded: “He was with his family.”
Abdulrasheed also revealed that the music outfit has since sacked the manager, whose identity he did not disclose.
“You are speaking with the right person in the label. The manager who shared the story has since been sacked. Oladips will soon address everyone on the issue,” Abdulrasheed added.
Oladips launched his label, Disciples Music, after his exit in 2019 from LRR/Edge Records, owned by Nigerian rapper, Remilekun Safaru, aka Reminisce.
