Five Star Music act Skiibii is not dead after all (please read)

So this morning, I received a mail and a text message that Five Star Music artist Skiibii collapsed in his sitting room and died. And they sent me the photo above. The source said he'd dressed up and was going for his media rounds today when he suddenly fell and was unable to be revived. Because I know the guys at Five Star Music, I contacted them for confirmation. I actually called the music label's artist manager, Soso Soberekon, to confirm the news. Soso, who had already posted a candlelight image on his instagram page said he would call me back with confirmation, that they were just hearing about the incident, that he and Kcee were in Europe. He called me back at exactly 10.02am to confirm that Skiibii had passed on. So I carried the news.

 
But a few minutes ago (hours after I carried the news), Kcee called me to say Skiibii hadn't died. He said he received the news of his collapse this morning but said he wasn't sure what was going on because he was not in Nigeria. He said his brother told him Skiibii had been found with no pulse and wasn't breathing. They rushed him to the hospital and after hours there, he has been revived. Kcee told me he wanted me to be the first to announce he's back to life because I broke the news of his alleged death.

To be honest, I find this all very strange. Skiibii just released music and has been on the road for a week now promoting it. Someone said to me that all this could be a stunt...for him to trend (which he is - he's the number trending topic in Nigeria) and all media houses in Nigeria have carried his supposed demise.

If this is a stunt (Skiibii dropped a video just yesterday), then it's quite sad that they would go to this extent to make him known to Nigerians. I know a lot of Nigerian artists put up stunts, but to play with your life is sick! Extremely sick to fake your own death for fame and attention! But if it's not a stunt and he indeed woke from the dead, then I'm very happy for him.


Just for the record, Soso Soberekon confirmed Skiibii's death to LIB. He posted this this morning. (which he has since deleted)

The same stunt u pulled by faking a closed blog for 24hours..Onye ashiri Linda u couldn't wait to be the first to spread the news..#smhow#

If this is...............What of if it isn't ?
What if there's a health issue then revival ?
Just personal thought sha.
As for Linda you made proper consultation for confirmation before posting so I hold nothing against you.I think I better wait for an official statement..I mean from the horses mouth.

Unknown said...

Well, I already wished him RIP and mourned him also so he must Rest In Peace. Watch your back skibi or whatever they call you, death is just around the corner. Idiots.

Unknown said...

Some people sounded intelligent while others were just blatant.

The prank is a test to show how professional we are handling spontaneous rumours.

Seeing the report on Linda Ikeji ... i did a post on that on my blog and i maintain my stand that it remains unconfirmed until i get words from the management.

Could it be they just tested Linda Ikeji's pro news handling....

his death was so fake, so even while he was dying he was so lucky enuf not to hit his head on the center table? his position on the pic shows death of gunshot and not collapse as dey claim ,who collapse nor dey sleep like like. the person that sent linda the email is from the five star......Its such a pity that this is d only way he can be popular , so the entire five star rubbish dont even blive on themselves. oga oo

JACOB, Prince said...

That's actually a bad stunt. This isn't "April Fool" bullshit then why should this shit come up?
A blatant stunt. Seems why most folks believed this instead of confirming from 5Stars' social pages or even their websites. That was the first thing I did when I saw this bullshit whirling.

Just as someone titled himself "Davido's Driver" which I am very sure most have fallen for without thinking whether Davido's driver ain't got names.
I am so sure Davido has seen this himself and would actually sound and seem so funny to him and more certainly that He'll ask Linda for his identity. LMAO
Nigerians are so fund of and addicted to believing lies instead of investigate the lies to ascertain the truth.
Nigerians are tough in nature but too fragile to brainwash.

if it is true dat he fake death in his quest to attain fame, then he shud bear in mind dat success without God and hardwork is transitory. He has done more harm to himself and family. what a pity

This is true oo

You be oluku said...

Fool! Didn't you read where she said she called his management and they confirmed it? How else can one be 'extremely' surer than that??

HotNews Nigeria said...

Actually I don't it is publicity stunt and the way aunty Linda just talked about it makes it look like it was a stunt.

It is possible he fell and because people around can't feel his pulse, they taught he's dead.. and after getting to the hospital, he recovered.

Someone sent u the news, then u called the manager who is not in Nigeria, the manager called Nigeria and those around "with the thought that he's gone told him that he's dead" which he confirmed back to you.

and they later found out he's alive and called in to inform you.


ehm... I no dey there ooo/// just using event possibility to judge the case.

Unknown said...

how could u not know it was all some april fool shit..imagine if he actually collapsed as they said, then who took d above pic? would u take picture of ur friend that just collapsed in ur eyes? its crazy.
