In a shocking turn of events, Nigerian rapper Oladips has ignited a firestorm of controversy after a video surfaced online showing him alive and well, hugging people amid reports that he faked his death.

The alleged motive behind this drastic move? To boost the popularity of his new album, which has swiftly climbed to number 3 on the charts within 24 hours of the fake death announcement.

The unexpected revelation has left fans and the music industry grappling with a mix of emotions, as the stunt draws parallels to Skibi’s notorious fake death in 2015.

Skibi, a fellow musician, admitted to employing a similar strategy to garner attention for his music when it seemed his talent wasn’t getting the recognition he desired.

A post circulating on Twitter claims Oladips’ staged demise was a calculated move, asserting, “Oladips is alive; he just finished eating Rice And Turkey here. He will post his apology video when his new album finally enters number 1 in Nigeria.” The post is accompanied by a video capturing the rapper embracing people, adding a surreal layer to the unfolding narrative.

As the story gains momentum online, discussions abound about the ethics of using such tactics to gain recognition in the competitive music landscape. The controversy surrounding Oladips’ alleged fake death raises questions about the thin line between artistic expression, promotional strategies, and the impact on the emotional well-being of fans who are often deeply affected by news of their favorite artists’ well-being.
