Sunday, April 5, 2026 -The cause of death of Nigerian singer Afeez Adesina, popularly known as Destiny Boy, has been revealed months after his passing.
According to P.M News, the 22-year-old artiste, who died on
January 17, 2026, had sparked speculation at the time, especially after videos
from the scene circulated online.
While his family initially stated that he had been dealing
with a long-term health condition that caused seizures, new findings have
provided more clarity.
According to the Ogun State Police Command, an autopsy
carried out by the State Criminal Investigation Department showed harmful
levels of tramadol and methamphetamine in his system.
The report concluded that the cause of death was aspiration
pneumonitis resulting from the ingestion of these substances.
Police spokesperson, DSP Babaseyi Oluseyi, also confirmed
that one suspect has been arrested in connection with the case, with
investigations still ongoing.
Destiny Boy rose to fame in 2019 after his Fuji-style cover
of Davido’s song If gained attention online.
He is survived by his partner, Iremide, and their child,
whom they welcomed in November 2024.
