Oladips is not dead
Social media has been thrown into chaos after news surfaced hours ago that Oladips is not dead.
It seems despite his management’s claims, Oladips is still alive and is now being accused for a fake death hoax.
Recall rapper Oladips’ management stated on Wednesday via his Instagram page that the rapper died on Tuesday, November 14, 2023.
“We are saddened to inform the general public that Oladipupo Olabode Oladimeji aka OLADIPS has passed away on Nov. 14 Tuesday evening at exactly 10:14 p.m. We are still in shock as we speak,” the statement read.
“For over two years he has kept his battles within himself, his body is now with his family and funeral services will be announced as soon as it is concluded! The family asked that we respect their privacy in this trying time. May god give us all the fortitude to bear this great loss.”
However, it did not take long for fans to start suspecting Oladips is not dead, especially after his management released his album.
And then on Thursday, the rapper’s colleague and close acquaintance, Qdot, denied the death allegations, insisting that the rapper is still alive.
Sharing a picture of Oladips on his Instagram page, Qdot wrote, “@oladipsoflife, my gee is alive.”
His allegation garnered varied reactions, with many questioning the veracity of the information, while others speculated that Oladips may have “faked” his death to promote his album, ‘Superhero Adugbo,’ which was published just hours earlier.
Angry actress Bukunmi Oluwashina deleted a tribute Oladips from her Instagram account due to his fake death.
Actress Etinosa also lambasted Oladips for pretending to die.
According to her, she had doubts about the news of his death, but she decided to keep it to herself.
Etinosa went on to say she studied the videos surrounding the claims of the rapper’s death, but she didn’t want to talk about it till his team debunked the death news because every stunt must come to an end.
She slammed Oladips and accused him of trying to copy Mohbad.
“The other rubbish video in a car that looked so much like Mohbad’s car video!! You guys couldn’t even be creative. You just copied Mohbad’s own word for word, Tueh!”
Even Verydarkman in a Twitter video expressed similar sentiments that Oladips is not dead.

Nigerian rapper Oldadips first rose to prominence in 2015 after winning an online rap competition called The King is Here, hosted by Nigerian rapper D’Banj.
Before completely hitting the limelight, the rapper was reported dead in November 2023.
Oladips’ supposed death comes before the anticipated release of his album, SUPERHERO ÀDÚGBÒ (The Memoir), originally scheduled to arrive on Thursday, Nov. 16 according to the BBC.
In February, Oladips shared a fan tweet that begged for the record’s release, to which he responded he was “out here all day in the studio with my sick self [sick emoji] rounding this album up still!”
The post was edited and updated three days prior to his death announcement, with the project’s official title.
The rapper’s most recent single, “Die Young,” was released on Oct. 6th 2023.
