‘Welcome back to life’ — MI reacts to Oladips’ ‘resurrection’ video

Jude ‘MI’ Abaga, the Nigerian rapper, has reacted to the controversies trailing Oladips’ reemergence on social media after he was reported dead.

On November 15, Oladips’ management announced that the artiste had passed away after battling personal struggles for over two years.

The news of his death came as a shock to fans and colleagues in the industry.

Shortly after, the management released the rapper’s 17-track album titled ‘Superhero Adugbo’.

Suspicions arose recently when Wavy, a longtime friend of Oladips, posted a video with the rapper claiming “he is alive”.

He further alleged that the rapper had faked his death and would return online if his album reached the top of the music charts.

On Thursday, a video of Oladips vibing to a song from his new album with his mother dancing in the background went viral.

The caption read, “orisa bi iya osi, proof of life”.

Reacting to the footage, MI wondered if Oladips “truly died and resurrected” as is widely rumoured.

The rapper also welcomed Oladips “back to life”.

“Oladips resurrected? Or wazzzz going on welcome back to life,” he wrote.

Oladips said in a recent Instagram live that he will soon open up on “what actually happened”.

“Right now I will just focus on getting better. When I have the strength. Because I see say everybody just dey talk talk talk without knowing what actually happened, without hearing from me direct,” he said.

“When I feel like I am good enough to address everybody, I will come on live and tell you people my side of the story. Na wetin I wan talk actually be that.”

The rapper gained fame after winning D’banj’s ‘King Is Here’ competition.

The win earned him a record deal with Edge Records label owned by Reminisce, another rapper.
