In a somber turn of events, a diverse array of Nigerian celebrities has conveyed their grief following the passing of their fellow artist, Oladipupo Oladimeji, widely known as Oladips.
As reported by DAILY POST, the unfortunate demise occurred on Tuesday night, as revealed by Oladips' management through a statement posted on his Instagram page the subsequent Wednesday.
The management revealed that Oladips struggled internally for the past two years, ultimately succumbing to the challenges he faced.
In a heartfelt video message shared on his Instagram page, Idowest, another prominent musician, lamented Oladips' departure and shed light on the prevalent issue of undisclosed battles with depression among numerous Nigerian celebrities.
Idowest said, “We are still mourning Mohbad, and now Oladips has joined him. What killed the boy? Depression.
“I’m about to share my own two cents. When Oladips was talking about his struggles, some people said he was chasing clout and now he has died. He is not alone. We plenty wey be say we dey always dey depressed.
“I’ve been sending my music materials to my colleagues to help me share on their social media platforms but they always ignore me. When I die now, they will start posting about me. You all like showing love to the dead.”
Singer Viktoh on his part, berated those who accused Oladips of chasing clout when he was complaining about his ill health on social media.
Speaking in a video message shared via his Instagram page, Viktoh said, “You can’t even retire from being a man for a few seconds to speak about the problems you’re going through without people thinking you’re chasing clout or weak.
“I’ve had my own experience but I thank God for my life. But you all need to check up on people, call people. May God bless the soul of Oladips. It’s really sad.”
Nnamdi Nwabasili, renowned as N6 and recognized as both an on-air personality and rapper, also weighed in on the situation. He made mention of the numerous individuals who accused Oladips of seeking attention (chasing clout) even as he grappled with health challenges.
He wrote, “Na why Man no dey Speak out. Shey you all were saying he was clout-chasing not up to 24 hours ago.
RIP OLADIPS.”
RIP OLADIPS.”
Reacting via X (formerly Twitter), rapper Blaqbonez said he was particularly “pained” by Oladips’ demise.
He wrote, “RIP Oladips. This one pained me way too much, way way too much. Someone that was supposed to drop an album tomorrow, now it’d go number 1 and once again the artist won’t get to see it, stupid life.”
Singer veteran Jaywon mourned via X, “Oladips this is too much.”
On his X handle, rapper Chinko Ekun wrote, “Oladips, RIP my beloved!”
Odumodublvck, under his X handle, shared a snippet of himself paying homage to Oladips through one of his songs. Accompanying the post was a simple yet poignant message where he wrote the late rapper's name in capital letters, followed by a love emoji.
Oladips passed away at the age of 28. The details of his funeral arrangements are anticipated to be disclosed in the near future, as conveyed by his management.
