Veteran Nigerian musician, Ebenezer Obey-Fabiyi, has recently addressed the false rumors of his death, emphatically declaring that he is alive, strong, and in good health.
The music legend made his statement clear in a spirited video shared on Tuesday, where he performed energetically to dismiss the claims that had spread like wildfire across social media.
The rumors first surfaced on Monday, sparking widespread concern and messages of condolence from fans.
However, Obey-Fabiyi, in a heartfelt message delivered in Yoruba, English, and Pidgin, let it be known that the news was nothing but a fabrication. “
Hello, my name is Professor Ebenezer Obey-Fabiyi. Satan, you don lose o, Satan, you don lose o, you don pafuka. Na lie lie you dey talk, you don pafuka,” he sang in the video, adding, “It is fake news that started a few hours ago claiming that I, Evangelist Obey, have passed on to glory. It is a lie. I am alive, and that is not the word Jesus has written.”
In addition to his video message, Obey-Fabiyi’s personal assistant, Tope Olukole, took to a live interview with TVC to further clear up the misunderstanding.
“Let’s be clear: Ebenezer Obey is alive and thriving,” Olukole stated, reaffirming the musician’s well-being.
He also mentioned that the renowned musician had recently joined his family to celebrate his second child’s spouse’s 50th birthday, reinforcing the fact that the rumors were unfounded.
This baseless rumor came shortly after the iconic musician celebrated his 83rd birthday, further showing the absurdity of the false claims.
In a world where rumors can spread quickly, this situation highlights how damaging such misinformation can be, especially when it concerns a beloved public figure.
The musician’s swift response, however, serves as an important reminder about the dangers of wishing ill on others.
It is truly unfortunate that some individuals continue to spread such negativity, often without a thought for the harm it can cause.
Ebenezer Obey-Fabiyi’s clarifying video serves as a strong statement against this kind of attitude, as he puts an end to the malicious gossip with his lively performance and message of truth.
