Renowned rapper, Oladipupo Oladimeji, better known as Oladips, has opened up about his disappointment regarding the widespread disbelief surrounding his reported “death and resurrection.” In an exclusive interview with Hip TV, the artist shed light on the misconceptions that arose after his management announced his demise on Tuesday, November 14, 2023.
The news of Oladips’ supposed passing sent shockwaves through the music industry, prompting an outpouring of condolences from fans and fellow artists alike. However, the situation took an unexpected turn when it was revealed that the rapper was, in fact, still alive, leading to speculation that his “death” was a hoax.
Despite clarifications from Oladips and his team, many continued to question the authenticity of the incident, dismissing it as a publicity stunt or prank. In his interview with Hip TV, Oladips expressed frustration over the lack of understanding and acceptance, emphasizing that his experience was a genuine near-death encounter.
“I came back to life to see all the chaos and disbelief. But what can I do? What has happened has happened,” Oladips remarked during the interview. “How many people can I sit with and explain to? Because, obviously, a lot of people still think my death is a prank.”
The rapper went on to explain that while he attempted to clarify the circumstances surrounding his “death and resurrection,” he encountered skepticism and resistance from many quarters. However, he remained resolute in his conviction that the ordeal was a profound and life-altering experience.
“Every time I tried to explain that it was a near-death experience and not a prank, people always show disbelief. But those who are close to me know that I died and resurrected,” Oladips asserted, underscoring the seriousness of his encounter.
