Nigerian rapper Oladips, whose real name is Oladipupo Oladimeji, is trending on social media platform X, formerly Twitter, as the report about his death in 2023 resurfaced.

Recall that last year, Oladips made headlines after he was declared dead by his management following an ailment he battled with for two years.

“We are saddened to inform the general public that Oladipupo Olabode Oladimeji, aka Oladips, passed away yesterday, November 14, Tuesday evening," the statement read in part.

Barely a few hours after Nigerians took to social media to mourn him, another report emerged that he was alive. The report claimed he passed on for three days before he came back to life.
