Accused him of disrespect, neglect
A disturbing audio recording allegedly featuring the voice of Destiny Boy’s mother has surfaced on social media, triggering renewed controversy around the late Afro-fuji singer’s life and death.
Destiny Boy, whose real name was Afeez Adeshina, died on Sunday, January 18, 2026, at the age of 22.
His passing came just months after he reportedly welcomed his first child, a development that had earlier been celebrated by fans and colleagues in the music industry.
Since news of his death broke, tributes have poured in across social platforms. However, the emergence of the alleged voicenote has shifted public conversation from mourning to shock and intense debate.
Destiny Boy’s mother rains curses
In the audio, which has been widely circulated on X (formerly Twitter) and other platforms, a woman believed to be the singer’s mother is heard making strong statements directed at Destiny Boy, claiming he would never experience a good life.
The speaker referenced sacrifices she said she made while raising him and accused the singer of showing her disrespect.
She also appeared to predict severe financial decline in his career, suggesting that while other musicians might earn substantial performance fees, he would struggle to make a modest income.
At one point, the woman allegedly instructed him to notify his spiritual advisers, stating that she had placed a curse on him.
Harsh language in circulation
Parts of the audio contain emotionally charged and harsh language, with the speaker expressing anger over what she described as neglect and lack of financial support from the singer.
The voicenote has since gone viral, with many listeners expressing discomfort over its tone and content.
Public reaction and renewed speculation

While some social media users condemned the alleged statements, others urged caution, stressing that the authenticity and full context of the recording remain unverified.
As of the time of this report, no official confirmation has been issued regarding the audio, and no member of the singer’s family has publicly addressed it.
Calls for sensitivity
