Video draws attention to Toluwanisings father's living conditions
The footage has brought renewed public attention to the late singer's father, whose family has been in the spotlight following the controversy surrounding his son's death and burial arrangements.
Toluwanisings, whose real name was Olayemi Bayonile Bolaji, died on October 14, 2026, after reportedly slumping at his home in Ibadan, Oyo State.
His death has been followed by disagreements within the family, including calls for an investigation into the circumstances surrounding it.
Toluwanisings' burial disagreement continues
Following the singer's death, his father said he wanted his son buried in the house he built or taken to Ikirun, where Toluwanisings’ late mother was buried.
He claimed that the singer's widow, Akanbi Elizabeth, preferred a cemetery or church burial ground.
The singer's paternal uncle, Lawal Ademola, also said the family wanted Toluwanisings buried at his residence in Ibadan.
The disagreement has divided opinions on social media, with some users questioning the idea of burying someone in a residential property, while others have supported the family's wish.
Meanwhile, Ademola has appealed to the government, community leaders and law enforcement authorities to investigate the circumstances surrounding the singer's death.

"You these content creators are very useless people! Why all of these nonsense? Why are you desecrating the memory of this young man. Is it a sin to be born from a poor background? How much did he even gross in his album that you are suddenly expecting him to fix all his family? You yourself, should anyone investigate your background, the world would be shocked at how horrible the holes where you crawled out from. Please, leave this guy alone to rest in peace"
@denrele commended:
"This is absolutely rubbish.. if the guy was not a celebrity or famous singer are you going to do all this nonsense interview you’re doing .. they need to use one of this interviewer as scapegoat."
