Oladips, one of the most popular and influential Nigerian rappers, has been declared dead. He was 28 years old. His death shocked and saddened his fans, friends, and fellow artists, who took to social media to express their grief and pay tribute to his legacy.
Oladips, whose real name was Oladipupo Olabode Oladimeji, rose to fame in 2015 with his hit single “Bounce”, which showcased his unique style of rap, blending Yoruba and English languages with witty and catchy lyrics. He went on to release several successful songs and albums, such as “Chache”, “Places”, “Half Human Half Rap”, and “Mainland to Island”. He also collaborated with many prominent Nigerian musicians, such as Reminisce, Zlatan, Naira Marley, and Davido.
Oladips was widely regarded as one of the best rappers in Nigeria, and was praised for his versatility, creativity, and originality. He was also known for his outspokenness and activism, often addressing social and political issues in his songs. He was a vocal critic of the Nigerian government, especially the former president Muhammadu Buhari, whom he accused of corruption, incompetence, and human rights violations. He also supported the #EndSARS movement, which protested against police brutality and demanded reforms in the security sector.
A viral video showing the lifeless body of rapper Oladipupo Oladimeji was shared by a member of the rapper’s team called Rasheed.
The video, released Tuesday on Instagram, saw Rasheed and two other persons crying over the lifeless body of the ‘Chache’ crooner.
“Dips abeg, God abeg. Wein be this,” Rasheed cried.
Oladips’ death was announced by his management on his official Instagram account on Tuesday, November 14, 2023. They wrote:
