Update on skibbii's death, the truth

Woke up this morning with the death news of skiibii Mayana all over the net, so i decide to do a little research before posting up any thing on it.

And they sent me the photo above. The source said he’d dressed up and was going for his media rounds today when he suddenly fell and was unable to be revived. For confirmation a call was put through to the music label’s artist manager, Soso Soberekon, to confirm the news. Soso, who had already posted a candlelight image on his instagram page said he would call back with confirmation, that they were just hearing about the incident, that he and Kcee were in Europe. He called back at exactly to confirm that Skiibii had passed on.

But  few minutes later (hours after I carried the news), Kcee called me to say Skiibii hadn’t died. He said he received the news of his collapse this morning but said he wasn’t sure what was going on because he was not in Nigeria. He said his brother told him Skiibii had been found with no pulse and wasn’t breathing. They rushed him to the hospital and after hours there, he has been revived. 

To be honest, I find this all very strange. Skiibii just released his music and has been on the road for a week now promoting it. Someone said to me that all this could be a stunt…for him to trend (which he is – the’s the number trending topic in Nigeria right now) and all media houses in Nigeria have carried his supposed demise. If this is a stunt (Skiibii dropped a video just yesterday), then it’s quite sad that they would go to this extent to make him known to Nigerians. I know a lot of Nigerian artists put up stunts, but to play with your life is sick! Extremely sick to fake your own death for fame and attention! But if it’s not a stunt and he indeed woke from the dead, then I’m very happy for him
