The elder sister of the late Nigerian singer Destiny Boy has addressed claims that their mother, Saidat Adeshina, cursed him before his untimely death. The circulating social media speculation surrounding Destiny Boy’s passing has led to various narratives, including the assertion that his mother’s words contributed to his demise.
Saidat Adeshina had previously spoken about her son’s prolonged health struggles, which began approximately two years prior to his death, coinciding with preparations for his first child’s naming ceremony. She detailed the family’s extensive efforts, encompassing hospital treatments and traditional remedies, in a bid to aid his recovery.
According to her account, Destiny Boy was eventually referred to an Ifa priest, Ifayomi Oba Edu, whom he regarded as a paternal figure. She characterized his illness, identified as “Oku or,” as a condition that caused sudden stiffness, akin to epileptic seizures, followed by signs of mental distress upon regaining consciousness.
The late singer’s mother further emphasized that the family had made a conscious decision to keep the details of his health issues private from the public.
However, a contrasting perspective emerged during a TikTok live broadcast that featured an older video of Saidat Adeshina. In this clip, she was visibly upset, confronting her son over accusations that he had cursed a woman named Rodiat.
During this intense argument, Saidat uttered statements that many viewers interpreted as a curse. “You dare curse Rodiat? And you know me. You have been trying to build your house for the past 10 years you could not. You are useless. Unless I am not your mother, will my curses not come to pass?” Destiny Boy’s mother declared in the video.
This video quickly sparked significant backlash online, with a segment of social media users calling for Saidat’s arrest, believing her words were directly responsible for her son’s death.
Reacting to the escalating controversy, Destiny Boy’s elder sister stepped forward to defend their mother in a video that has since gained considerable traction. She strongly criticized the TikTok host for disseminating what she termed false and damaging claims about her mother, Saidat.
What is the truth behind Destiny Boy’s mother’s curse claims? The elder sister of the late singer has clarified that the incident was a mere disagreement between a mother and her son. She questioned the validity of the accusations that her mother wished harm upon him and dismissed the notion that a mother could intentionally cause the death of her own child.
The singer’s sister also condemned the online abuse directed at Saidat and challenged those making such grave accusations to provide concrete proof that her mother was responsible for her brother’s death. She refuted other circulating rumors, including allegations of Destiny Boy’s involvement in money rituals, asserting that these claims were unsubstantiated and unjust.
“I am Destiny Boy’s sister. I am seeing something that is going viral on TikTok and Facebook, where bloggers are writing about it,” she stated. “Did you see it when Destiny’s mother killed her own son? Because you are cursing Destiny Boy’s mother now. Is it possible for a mother to kill her own child?”
She continued, “He fought with my mother. And my mum was talking to him so that he would listen to her and obey her. Do you think you can just abuse anyone you feel like abusing anyhow? You also said he did a money ritual. Were you there when he did it?”
Meanwhile, the Ogun State Police Command has confirmed that one suspect has been apprehended in connection with Destiny Boy’s death, and investigations are ongoing to ascertain the full circumstances surrounding the tragic event.
Destiny Boy’s sister’s defense aims to set the record straight, urging the public to refrain from making unfounded accusations against their mother during this difficult time of grief and mourning. The focus remains on understanding the true cause of Destiny Boy’s passing and bringing any perpetrators to justice.
