The father of late Afrofuji star Afeez Adeshina, popularly known as Destiny Boy, has spoken about the pain of losing his son and the loneliness that followed.
Legit.ng reported that Destiny Boy died in January 2026 at just 22 years old after a sudden illness that shocked fans and the Nigerian music scene.
The singer’s death, which followed a sudden illness involving vomiting white substance, sent shockwaves through social media, though family members firmly rejected suggestions of foul play.

In a video circulating widely on social media, the father of the Afrobeats and Fuji singer explained that life has not felt real since the burial of his son, and most of the people who showed concern at that time have since disappeared.
“Ever since my son, Destiny boy passed away, I have not been myself. Nobody checked on me again after the burial.”
He revealed that only one person has continued to stand by him, offering both financial and emotional support.
According to him, a man he identified as Mr Ultimate Caterpillar sends money every week, makes regular calls, and visits to check on him.
“It’s only Ultimate Carterpillar that send me money weekly for upkeep. He’s the only one who calls and visits me every time.”
The grieving father added that he now lives in the house Destiny Boy built for him, which is also where the young singer was laid to rest.
He described the painful irony of waking up daily in the same place his son was buried.
“Everything is still like a dream to me. I am living in the house that he built for me, which is also the place he was buried.”
As the video trends online, many social media users mocked him, suggesting that he’s feeling entitled to public support.
They related him to the father of late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, better known as Mohbad, who has been in several controversies since the death of his son in September 2023, while others defended Destiny Boy’s father.
