Ebenezer Obey-Fabiyi, the legendary singer, has strongly denied the death rumors, telling his followers that he is still alive, well, and in a good mood.
Obey-Fabiyi responded to the unfounded allegations in a video released Tuesday morning, giving a dynamic performance that made it clear that he was doing well.
Prominent for his proficiency in Yoruba, English, and Pidgin, the singer assertively denied the allegations while singing in his distinctive way, “Hello, my name is Professor Ebenezer Obey-Fabiyi.” You don’t lose, Satan; you don’t lose, you don’t lose. Na lying lie, you talk, you wear pafuka.
“It is fake news that started a few hours ago claiming that I, Evangelist Obey, have passed on to glory,” Obey-Fabiyi continued to refute the rumor. That is untrue. That is not what Jesus wrote, and I am still living.
Fans expressed their sorrow after hearing the rumor of the music legend’s passing on Monday. The news spread swiftly, and many people expressed their sadness on social media.
But Tope Olukole, Obey-Fabiyi’s assistant, promptly intervened to correct the record.
Olukole stated in a Monday night interview with TVC that the musician was alive and well.
“Let us clarify that Ebenezer Obey-Fabiyi is still alive and well! “He recently celebrated a happy occasion — the 50th birthday of his second child’s spouse,” Olukole said, expressing relief at seeing his boss engaged and cheerful.
“There is no truth to the rumors that he passed away. We are happy to see him healthy and active,” Olukole continued.
Only one month after Obey-Fabiyi’s 83rd birthday, which was warmly and joyously celebrated by his family and fans, the death fake arose.
