Skibii, a popular Nigerian singer, recently shared his journey in the music industry, revealing that he started his career amidst rumors of his death. In August 2015, there were reports that Skibii had collapsed and passed away. However, he explained that he had been struggling with a medical condition that caused him to lose consciousness frequently.
In a widely circulated interview, Skibii mentioned that despite the false news of his demise, he not only survived the ordeal but also managed to overcome the criticism he faced, such as the shade thrown at him by singer Falz in one of his songs. Additionally, he received tributes from notable artists like Davido and Wizkid.
Skibii recounted the circumstances surrounding the rumors, mentioning that he had experienced blackouts twice before. The first incident occurred on a plane to South Africa when he fainted in the restroom, resulting in the plane being temporarily grounded. The second incident took place at a friend’s house. On his way out, he collapsed, which led people to spread the false news of his death.
Upon regaining consciousness in the hospital, Skibii discovered that Wizkid, Davido, and others had posted rest in peace messages on their social media accounts. He eventually had to seek treatment in the United States. As a result of his medical condition, Skibii has since had to avoid consuming certain items like pineapple and lime.
