'Oladips died, resurrected after 3 days' - Singer's aide speaks, makes striking revelation

Abdul Rasheed Opeyemi, the personal assistant to Nigerian artiste Oladips has stated that the rapper who had been declared deceased had actually been dead for three days.

The performer, who was pronounced dead by his management, allegedly lay dead for three days before being brought back to life, according to Oladips' assistant.

It was revealed that the singer of "Chache" passed away on November 14, after he had fought against an undisclosed illness for two years.

A statement by the singer's managememnt read: “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),” read a statement from his management.

In an in-depth interview with Tope Alabi of PUNCH Online, on Monday, December 4, 2023, Abdulrasheed gave further information about the running of the rapper's record label, Disciples Music. He also disclosed that, prior to his regeneration, Oladips had been dead for three days.

He said, “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.”

Abdulrasheed answered, “He was with his family,” when asked where the rapper had been for the previous three days.

Furthermore, Abdulrasheed revealed that the music group later sacked the manager, whose name he did not reveal.

“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.
