Abdulrasheed Opeyemi, the personal assistant to Nigerian rapper Oladipupo Oladimeji, popularly known as Oladips, has revealed a startling twist to the news of Oladips’ death. Contrary to the earlier announcement by his management on November 14, stating that the rapper had passed away at 10:14 pm, Opeyemi disclosed that Oladips had actually been clinically dead for three days before miraculously coming back to life.
The initial statement conveyed the management’s shock and sorrow over Oladips’ reported demise, citing a prolonged battle with illness over two years.
The family requested privacy during this difficult period. The unexpected revelation of Oladips’ revival after being declared dead has added a mystifying turn to the unfolding story.
In an exclusive interview with us Online on Monday, Abdulrasheed shed more light on the ‘management’ of Dipsciples Music, owned by the rapper, adding that Oladips was dead for three days before he came back to life.
He said, “I don’t know how to say this. It was a misinterpretation with the manager who has access to Oladips’ page. We all thought he was dead because he was not breathing until the third day when he was revived. By then, the manager had already shared the story.
“Even I could not reach him until the third day.”
Asked where the rapper was for the three days, Abdulrasheed responded, ”He was with his family.”
Abdulrasheed also revealed that the music outfit has since sacked the manager, whose identity he did not disclose.
“You are speaking with the right person in the label. The manager who shared the story has since been sacked. Oladips will soon address everyone on the issue,” Abdulrasheed added.
Oladips launched his label, Dipsciples Music, after his exit in 2019, from LRR/Edge Records, owned by Nigerian rapper Remilekun Safaru, aka Reminisce.
