Popular Nigerian singer Ruger has confirmed the death of fast-rising Afrobeats artiste Destiny Boy, putting an end to hours of speculation following disturbing videos that circulated online. The sudden loss of the young musician has sent shockwaves through the music community and sparked intense debate across social media.
Reports of Destiny Boy’s death began trending on Sunday afternoon after a video went viral showing the 22-year-old artiste lying motionless inside a car, with wool placed in his nostrils. The footage triggered widespread confusion and concern, as neither his family nor close associates released an immediate statement to clarify the situation.
As of the time of this report, the exact cause of Destiny Boy’s death has not been officially disclosed. Conflicting narratives have since emerged online, with some social media users claiming the singer passed away at the home of a herbalist, while others alleged he became ill earlier in the day. None of these accounts has been verified by authorities or the late artiste’s representatives.
Breaking the silence, Ruger took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his frustration over the lack of transparency surrounding Destiny Boy’s death. In a strongly worded post, the singer questioned how such a serious matter could be reduced to rumours without concrete information or an official explanation.
“Bruh people will just post that someone has died and everyone will move on. Wtf caused his death, who was he with, what was the boy eating or drinking. No autopsy, NOTHING!!!! We just have to accept that he’s dead. My God RIP Destiny Boy 💔”
Ruger’s reaction resonated with many fans and industry observers, who echoed his concerns and called for clarity on what truly happened. Several social media users criticised the culture of circulating unverified information, especially in cases involving sudden deaths, urging authorities and families to prioritise proper investigations.
Destiny Boy, born Afeez Adesina, was widely regarded as one of the promising new voices in the Afrobeats and street-pop scene. He rose to prominence through his energetic delivery and relatable street-inspired lyrics, gradually building a loyal fanbase among young music lovers.
The late singer was also known for blending indigenous sounds with contemporary Afrobeats, a style that earned him recognition as a talent to watch. Many fans believe he was on the brink of a major breakthrough before his untimely death cut his journey short.
Beyond his music career, Destiny Boy had recently embraced fatherhood. In 2024, he proudly announced the birth of his first child, sharing the news with fans who celebrated the milestone with him. His death has now left many reflecting on the fragility of life and the painful reality of unfulfilled potential.
Colleagues and fans have since taken to social media to mourn the young artiste, posting tributes and highlighting the impact of his music despite his relatively short career. Several artistes have also joined calls for a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding his passing.
As the music industry and fans continue to grieve, many are hoping for official confirmation from family members or relevant authorities to put an end to speculation and provide closure. For now, Destiny Boy’s death remains surrounded by unanswered questions, with his loss marking another tragic moment in Nigeria’s entertainment scene.
The late singer’s music and legacy, however brief, continue to live on in the hearts of those who followed his journey.
