According to Saida, Destiny Boy had been struggling with a long-term illness referred to as Ogu Oru, which frequently caused him to experience seizures. She explained that the condition had troubled him for years and worsened after the birth of his child.

Around four days after the baby’s naming ceremony, the family visited traditional ruler Oba Edu Ifayomi, who had previously mentored Destiny Boy and treated him like a son.

The monarch had asked them to collect a ram for the ceremony, but during the visit, Destiny Boy’s illness returned, causing him to collapse. He was immediately rushed to the hospital, with Oba Edu providing financial support for his care even as he was moved between two other hospitals.

When his condition failed to improve, the family sought traditional treatment. Destiny Boy was brought to Oba Edu, where Saida personally helped bathe him. Afterward, he seemed to recover temporarily, although the illness would periodically trigger seizures and unusual behavior.

Saida emphasized that the family stayed close to him during these episodes to prevent harm. She also refuted circulating rumours that Destiny Boy was involved in money rituals, insisting such claims were fabricated for attention. The family had deliberately kept his illness private, taking him to herbalists and clerics in hopes of a cure.

Saida recounted that the day before his death, Destiny Boy was still active—buying gifts, greeting fans, and scheduling a show for Sunday.

Tragically, he passed away on Sunday at age 22, with news of his death spreading after a video of his lifeless body appeared online. Destiny Boy rose to prominence in 2019 following a Fuji-style cover of Davido’s hit song If.
