However, in a Twitter post made later this evening by a Twitter user, he claimed to have contacted the family of the “I’m Calling (my Bebe)” crooner and was told that Sky B is very much alive and statements will be made available soon.

Another user went on to release a WhatsApp conversation between him and a friend to the rapper’s family.

Sky B survived a ghastly motor accident in 2018 but as to whether he died of a heart attack today is the mystery about to solve itself.

Incase You Are Wondering Who Sky B Is:

The Nigerian Hip-hop industry wasn’t favourable in the 2000s, even with little or no competition but Sky B was one of the few rappers that made waves back in 2007. He delivered the sound that allowed rappers get radio hit.

His “Pray for me” album is a milestone for Nigerian rap. Claims were made that he sold around one million copies – asides pirated copies. While it might seem an outrageous claim, that album was everywhere at the time.

PulseNG reached out to M-Trill on whether Pray For Me really sold one million copies, M-Trill said: “I believe (it sold) more. I was touring then and his music was everywhere; motor parks, barbing salons, everywhere. I was happy for him and it motivated me a lot then. It made me see Nigeria’s target market different.”

Stay tuned for updates as we hope he is alive and in good health!
