Destiny Boy’s elder sister has rejected allegations that their mother cursed the late singer, saying a viral video only showed a family disagreement.
She condemned social media speculation as malicious, while police confirmed a suspect has been arrested as investigations continue.
The elder sister of late Afrobeat singer Destiny Boy has denied claims that their mother, Saidat Adeshina, cursed him before his death, describing the allegation as false and malicious.
Following the singer’s death, an old video resurfaced online in which Saidat was seen angrily scolding her son during a family disagreement, sparking outrage and claims that she caused his death through curses.
Reacting in a viral video, Destiny Boy’s sister defended their mother, insisting the clip only showed a heated argument between a mother and son. She dismissed claims of curses, money rituals, or intentional harm, asking critics if it was possible for a mother to kill her own child.
She accused bloggers and a TikToker of pushing a harmful narrative and urged the public to stop spreading unverified claims.
Meanwhile, the Ogun State Police Command has confirmed the arrest of a suspect in connection with Destiny Boy’s death, as investigations continue.

In other news… Afrobeats star Oxlade has revealed that he does not smoke or use hard drugs, crediting his upbringing and religious background for his lifestyle choices. He made the disclosure during an interview with gospel singer Tim Godfrey.
The Ku Lo Sa hitmaker said he comes from a strong Christian and musically inclined family and began his music journey in the church choir. According to him, that foundation shaped his values, personality, and overall approach to music.
“I don’t smoke. I don’t take drugs. I was a choir coordinator for every age group; children’s church, teen church, the youth choir and the mass choir.
“All my life I have been in the choir. I was raised in a musically inclined family. My grandma is a deaconess and an amazing singer. My grandad used to be a multi-instrumentalist.
“My mum could dance and sing. I have a pastor in my family. My gospel music writing is actually the best. Gospel music is the best music,” he said.
The singer added, “Regardless of whichever perspective I am viewed, you should know that God is equally blessing me as much as he is blessing you. You can’t tour 40 cities with your debut album if God doesn’t want it to happen. As long as God is ordaining these steps and movements, there is really nothing for me to worry about.”
