In a moving caption, he described the singer as a "very humble guy" and confirmed this was the last time he saw him alive. The man detailed that the encounter took place on October 12, 2025. He approached the musician to greet him, and Destiny Boy warmly responded with "twale" – a Yoruba slang for greeting or respect.
He further added a significant detail, noting that on that day, he saw Destiny Boy in the company of Oba Edun. This post came just days after the shocking news of the singer's death, which was confirmed on January 18, 2026.
