After the news of the death of Nigerian rapper Oladips, several individuals including N6, Yhemolee, and other netizens have reacted with mourning.
Oladips’ management released a statement on his Instagram profile confirming his passing at 10:14 p.m. on Tuesday, November 14.
In response to the news, rapper Nnamdi Nwabasili, popularly known as N6, offered his condolences and criticized those who had accused Oladips of seeking attention just hours before his death.
Videos also circulated on social media, showing the rapper collapsing while surrounded by friends in the late hours of Tuesday.
Oladips had appealed for assistance on his Instagram stories prior to the video going viral. He asked where one of his friends, @onlyonelifetime, was in the post mentioning him.
The rapper bemoaned the fact that he had called the friend multiple times and that they were aware of his dislike of being left alone in the house, particularly given his health.
The rapper received a lot of backlash for this post, with many people accusing him of merely trying to get attention. Thousands of people visited his Instagram page in grief hours after it was announced that he had passed away.
This act led N6 to conclude that it makes sense why so few people come forward to talk about their struggles. As he stated, “Na why Man no dey Speak out. Shey you all were saying he was clout-chasing not up to 24 hours ago.
RIP OLADIPS.”
