A fresh wave of controversy and grief has surrounded the death of fast-rising Nigerian singer Destiny Boy following a startling revelation made by a family member during his burial rites.
Speaking emotionally at the burial ceremony, the late artiste’s uncle publicly alleged that Destiny Boy died in the house of a native doctor, a statement that stunned mourners and has since sparked widespread reactions across social media.
According to the uncle, the family felt compelled to speak out to correct what he described as “misleading narratives” surrounding the singer’s sudden death. He claimed that Destiny Boy’s final moments were not spent in a hospital or at home, as earlier speculated, but in the residence of a traditional practitioner. However, he did not provide further details on the circumstances that led to the visit or the events that immediately preceded the singer’s death.
The emotional disclosure, made in the presence of family members, friends, and sympathizers, has reopened conversations about the pressures faced by young artistes in the entertainment industry, particularly the desperation for fame and quick success.
As of the time of filing this report, no official statement has been released by law enforcement agencies or medical authorities to confirm or dispute the claim. Family members have also not indicated whether any formal investigation is being pursued.
Destiny Boy, who gained popularity at a young age after his viral cover of Davido’s hit song “IF”, was widely regarded as a talented but troubled figure whose life was cut tragically short.
His death continues to generate intense public debate, with many Nigerians calling for restraint, respect for the grieving family, and a focus on verified facts rather than speculation.
