Nigerian rapper and singer Vector Tha Viper, whose real name is Olanrewaju Ogunmefun, on Monday, March 9, 2026, penned a heartwarming tribute to late musician Sound Sultan (Olanrewaju Fasasi, aka Naija Ninja) amid the ongoing Ramadan.
Vector, who noted in a tweet via his official X handle that the late Sound Sultan's subtle Muslim identity only highlighted during Ramadan, described the singer as one who peacefully integrated into diverse circles.
The rapper also shared an old chat between him and the late singer. "He was one Muslim you never remember was Muslim until it’s Ramadan… he blended in peacefully with everyone he came across. The season of Ramadan brought him to memory… May all our prayers for good be met with answers for good," Vector wrote.
Recall that on May 12, 2021, it was reported that Sound Sultan was in the USA receiving chemotherapy after being diagnosed with Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma.
Sadly, he died on July 11, 2021, at the age of 44, as a result of complications from the illness after battling it for months.
He was one Muslim you never remember was Muslim until it’s Ramadan… he blended in peacefully with everyone he came across.
