Legendary Juju musician, Ebenezer Obey Fabiyi has condemned those spreading false news about him being dead.
The revered musician expressed his angst in a video shared by BBC Yoruba on Instagram on Friday.
“I have been rumoured dead thrice in one month. If those individuals are not wicked, why would they say I am dead when I am alive.Nothing is wrong with me,” he said.
TheNewsGuru recalls that one of the false reports about Obey’s death alleged that he passed on in London in July.
In a recent chat, the veteran singer condemned contemporary Nigerian musicians.
According to him:” I commend the new generation of musicians for the impact they have been able to make. Their generation understands their language and they have lots of followers, which is good.
However, vile things, such as rape, that are happening these days weren’t like this back in the days. It seems people have lost their minds. These days, one finds people raping infants and things like that break my heart. We definitely cannot afford to continue like this. I am happy with how seriously the government is taking the issue, though we still need to talk more. There should be stiffer sanctions for offenders, so it would deter others from committing the same crimes.
The new generation of musicians should be mindful of their lyrics so that they don’t contribute to the moral decadence in society. They should rather use their music to pass positive messages because they have lots of fans who listen to them”.
