Music legend and gospel icon, Professor Ebenezer Obey-Fabiyi, has quashed circulating rumours of his death in a lively video performance shared with his fans. The revered juju music maestro assured his followers that the reports of his passing were false and completely fabricated.
In a video posted on social media, Obey-Fabiyi, who has long been a fixture in the Nigerian music industry, joyfully sang in a mix of Yoruba, English, and Pidgin, confidently declaring his good health. He said, “Hello, my name is Professor Ebenezer Obey-Fabiyi. Satan, you don lose o, Satan, you don lose o, you don pafuka. Na lie lie you dey talk, you don pafuka.”
The legendary musician further addressed the false news head-on, stating, “It is fake news that started a few hours ago claiming that I, Evangelist Obey, have passed on to glory. It is a lie. I am alive, and that is not the word Jesus has written.”
Rumours of Obey-Fabiyi’s alleged death had spread rapidly across social media, prompting an outpouring of condolences from his fans and well-wishers. However, his team quickly responded to the misinformation, with his associate, Tope Olukole, assuring the public of the music icon’s well-being.
Obey-Fabiyi, who celebrated his 83rd birthday earlier this year and has been active in the music industry for over 68 years, remains a beloved figure, known not only for his iconic contributions to juju music but also for his gospel compositions that continue to inspire new generations.
The music legend’s strong message of resilience and life stands as a testament to his enduring legacy.
