Saidat Adeshina, the mother of singer Adesina Afeez, popularly known as Destiny Boy, has denied claims that she cursed or killed her son.
In a video shared online, Saidat appealed for help and urged Nigerians to stop spreading unverified stories.
“All mothers around the world, please come to my aid. They want to kill me. They want to indict me over my child’s death. I do not know the person sharing voice notes that I cursed my son and killed him,” she said.
She described the viral voice notes attributed to her as false and harmful.
“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 death. Some people intentionally want to accuse me.
Everyone who is cursing me out on social media will suffer my same fate.”
The singer’s elder sister has also rejected claims that their mother cursed him, calling the stories false and misleading.
The Ogun State Police confirmed that a suspect has been arrested in connection with Destiny Boy’s death, and the case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department homicide section for further investigation. Police have not released the official cause of death.
He died on Sunday, January 18, a loss that has sparked widespread discussion in Nigeria’s entertainment community.
