Nigerian rapper Oladipupo Oladimeji, also known as Oladips, previously reported as deceased by his management, has clarified that he had been in an unconscious state for three days.
Contrary to speculations of a hoax, Oladips emphasized that his recovery involved the performance of traditional rituals to revive him.
During a recent interview with Naija FM in Lagos, Oladips recounted,
“I was unconscious, my team members were hitting me and I wasn’t responding so they thought I was dead. My mum told them not to take me to the hospital that they should bring me to her.
“I was unconscious for two to three days. I went to the hospital but it wasn’t the regular hospital. I am a son of the soil, everybody knows that. So, I’m not going to pretend. Some traditional rites were performed to revive me. My mum did all she could to bring me back to life.”
