A viral video of the late Afrobeat singer Destiny Boy has emerged online, causing widespread reactions across multiple social media platforms and sparking discussions among fans and the general public alike.
Reports circulating online suggest that the burial of the young music star was allegedly put on hold after attempts were reportedly made to remove his gold teeth prior to the scheduled interment. The alleged incident has generated a mix of shock, anger, and sadness among followers of the singer.
In the trending footage, a voice in the background can be clearly heard explaining the reason why the burial did not proceed as planned. The voice reportedly said, “They didn’t later bury Destiny Boy today. They took his body to the mortuary, and when they got there, they were trying to remove the gold in his teeth. One is on the left, the other is on the right. They are trying to remove it before they embalm his body.”
While the exact motive behind the alleged removal of the gold teeth is still unclear, social media users have speculated that it could be linked either to the intrinsic value of the gold teeth or unresolved issues surrounding the late singer’s belongings. The video has since generated outrage online, with many Nigerians expressing disgust at the act, labeling it as highly disrespectful and unethical toward the deceased.
Several social media users took to various platforms to voice their condemnation. One user wrote, “Allow the young man rest in peace. Why disturb his body because of gold teeth?” Another added, “No matter the situation, this is wrong and unacceptable.” Many fans have continued to mourn the late Afrobeat star, reflecting on his contributions to the music industry and calling for him to be allowed to rest peacefully and be buried with dignity.
The incident has reignited conversations about the treatment of deceased celebrities and the importance of respecting their final rites, especially in cases where valuable personal items are involved. Fans and followers have urged authorities and family members to ensure that Destiny Boy’s burial proceeds with the respect and honor befitting his legacy.
