A Nigerian TikToker, simply known as Disturbing has died during a live session on the video sharing and making app.
In the video that surfaced on social media captured the moment Disturbing, who was involved in the ‘JUSTICE FOR MOHBAD’ movement slumped and died during a live stream.
Nigerian journalist Temilola Sobola, via her Instagram on Friday, confirmed the sad news.
Sharing his photo, she wrote: “A popular TikToker known as Disturbing who was also into JUSTICE FOR MOHBAD passed away some hours ago while he was on a live video…”
The disturbing incident, which has gone viral captured the final moments of the content creator as he appeared to suffer what looks like seizure before passing away in front of camera.
In another post, she revealed that the deceased had been buried. Her post reads: “This is a video of Disturbing, the Tiktoker who passed away some hours ago. He has been buried. He is survived by his mother, a pregnant wife and kids. May God forgive his shortcomings.”
Disturbing, who became popular for his consistent involvement in the “Justice for Mohbad” movement, in the footage that has since went viral was visibly distressed before collapsing.
Reacting to his death, many netizens commented that the TikToker had been seen vocally cursing individuals linked to the late singer Mohbad’s case, including Mohbad’s mother, widow, his brother Adura, and Liam, during his live broadcast.
Some social media users have also speculated the cause of his sudden death, with some suggesting that it may be a result of substance abuse.
An X (formerly Twitter) user, @MezieAbia, said, “Young people should leave hard drugs alone. Hard drugs kill you silently and gradually.”
Another user, @GuyMr0, offered a more spiritual interpretation, writing, “This is not as a result of drugs. At that moment, he witnessed the presence of angel of death, but no one could see it except the dying individual (a moment no one can survive). His time is up; drug abuse may just be coincidence. Everybody will die in the end.”
EmperorDeone speculated that a medical condition might be to blame, “Looks like he was having a stroke. Maybe he was hypertensive.”
