On social media, a video of the late Afrobeat musician Destiny Boy has gone popular, eliciting conflicting responses. The young musician’s burial was allegedly postponed after attempts were made to extract his gold teeth before he could be buried, according to rumors circulating. A voice could be heard in the background of the popular video explaining why the funeral was postponed. “They didn’t later bury Destiny Boy today. They took his body to the mortuary, and when they got there, they were trying to remove the gold in his teeth. One is on the left, the other is on the right. They are trying to remove it before they embalm his body,” the voice said. While the exact reason behind the alleged action remains unclear, social media users have speculated that it may be linked to the value of the gold teeth or unresolved issues surrounding the late singer’s belongings. The disturbing footage has since triggered outrage and emotional reactions online, with many Nigerians condemning the act and describing it as disrespectful to the dead. Reacting to the incident, one social media user wrote, “Allow the young man rest in peace. Why disturb his body because of gold teeth?” Another added, “No matter the situation, this is wrong.” Fans continue to mourn the late Afrobeat star, remembering him for his contributions to music and urging that he be allowed to rest peacefully and be buried with dignity.
