In the viral recording, an elderly woman, believed to be Destiny Boy's mother, is heard levelling serious accusations and curses against her son. She claimed that while other artists were commanding fees of N1 million for performances, her son would only earn N50,000. Her anger appeared to be fuelled by a perceived lack of financial care from him.
She made a specific comparison, alleging that Destiny Boy could give his wife the sum of N300,000 while she received nothing. The woman proceeded to state that she had placed a curse on him for his neglect and advised him to consult his priest. She was also heard declaring that he would never find success because of how he treated her.
Fan Reactions and Fears of a Repeat Saga
The public release of this private family matter has stirred strong emotions online. Many fans expressed shock and sadness that a mother would utter such curses against her own child, especially one considered the family's breadwinner.
A prevailing sentiment among commentators is a desperate plea to avoid a situation similar to the prolonged controversies that followed the death of singer Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, known as Mohbad. Fans are urging Destiny Boy's family to allow the young artist to be laid to rest peacefully and without public drama.
Comments like "Make una no do this boy case like mohbad own ooo" and "Bury him in peace and avoid dramas" flooded social media platforms. Others criticised the mother's stance, with some noting that the N50,000 she complained about would no longer be forthcoming after his tragic passing.
Context and Broader Discussions
Destiny Boy's death, which occurred under reported tragic circumstances, had already sparked various rumours and videos online. This voice note added a painful, familial dimension to the public discourse.
The incident has also reignited conversations about the complex dynamics between some mothers and their sons' wives in Nigerian culture, with netizens drawing parallels to other known celebrity family disputes.
Separately, it was recalled that following the singer's death, Prophet Marcus Tibetan shared a vision suggesting that 11 more entertainers could pass away in 2026. Furthermore, a broadcaster, Afolabi Peters Murphy, had earlier commented on the consequences of ignoring prophetic warnings, citing cases like that of Omije Ojumi.
The voice note remains a central point of discussion as the public and fans await further clarity and a peaceful resolution for the late Destiny Boy's legacy.
