Alexx Ekubo died on 11 May at the age of 40 after a battle with cancer. His family said he passed away following complications from advanced metastatic kidney cancer at Evercare Hospital.
Before his death was confirmed, there had been public concern about his absence from social media, as he had not been active on Instagram since 2024. Actress Oma Nnadi had earlier addressed the speculation, urging the public not to spread concerns about his wellbeing and noting that not everyone needed to be active online.
