The “Ma Bebe” singer was reportedly found unconscious on Tuesday morning at his home in Owerri, Imo State. Reports also have it that he was immediately rushed to the Federal Medical Centre Owerri where he was reportedly confirmed dead.
Following the announcement that went viral, a Nigerian man identified as Ugbo Ndioma took to social media to debunk the news on the death of veteran rapper Sky B.
He wrote:
“Sky B is much alive.We just contacted his family and they confirmed he’s alive.Please RT this.#SkyB”
The rapper has come out to denounce the news of his death, stating that the photo that went viral was from a movie he was involved in some weeks ago. He went further to say he was critically ill and was rushed to the hospital as early as 2:30 am when he contacted friends to pray for him, only waking up the next day to hear about the viral news of his death.
See his IG post below:
The rumor about my death started after acting a movie last week in Owerri, I died in the movie not in real life. The main one that hit the net was the one that happened yesterday around 2:30am I had an emergency which I was taken to the hospital and I called a few friends to pray for me and I updated on my status that I was critically ill and needed prayers only for me to come out after hours of taking drip to hear about my death rumor everywhere.
I was shocked at first but, now I thank God today that I didn’t die and I can’t die and please let no one post anything about my death. Please I beg you to post about my music not about my death. I apologize to everyone who was hurt and to people who cared about me and also I apologize to my greatest fans home and abroad who called tirelessly and messaged to get facts. Please SkyB is strong now and ready to perform anywhere on any stage and dropping new songs too. I’m back fully with earth and water.
