VIDEO: Man Exposes Herbalist Who Allegedly Did ‘Money Ritual For Late Musician Destiny Boy
A Nigerian man has sparked widespread reactions online after publicly calling out a Babalawo identified as Ifayemi over claims linked to the death of late Afrofuji singer Destiny Boy.
In an emotional outburst that has continued to circulate on social media, the man accused the spiritualist of giving the young singer juju he described as “too much” for his age.
“I Have Not Accepted That Destiny Boy Is Dead”
Speaking passionately, the man said he is still struggling to come to terms with the singer’s death.
“Ifayemi, I have not accepted that Destiny Boy is dead. If it is true, then you are one of those who killed him. What you gave him was too much,” he said.
Allegation of Dangerous Rituals for Young People
He alleged that many young people are dying prematurely because some Babalawos give them rituals their ages cannot handle.
The man also questioned how Destiny Boy allegedly afforded a “N30 million plus car” despite claims that he was not financially buoyant.
In his words:
“Ifayemi, I have not accepted that Destiny Boy is dead. If it is true, then you are one of those who killed him. What you gave him was too much.
They said he only did ‘IFA’, and shortly after that, he went to buy a ‘N30 million plus car’. If someone does ‘IFA’, does that mean the person wants to do money ritual? ‘IFA’ does not make one rich. When you do ‘IFA’, it is your family curses that will be washed away, but that does not mean you will have money.
After that, they will ask you what you want. Do you want money? That is when they now do rituals for you. The type of ritual you ask for is what they will do for you. But ‘IFA’ and money ritual are two different things.
If you went ahead to do something heavy, you must have passed a certain age. These days, youth deaths are becoming common because what babalawos are giving young people is too much for their age.
Ifayemi, if they later bury that boy, it is you that killed him. The juju you gave that boy was too much. They said Destiny Boy did not have money, yet he was using a ‘N30 million plus car’. How much was he even getting from his shows?
My father is also a babalawo. If you go to meet my father and say you want to do ritual, the first thing he will ask is your age. If you say you are 20 or 30-something, he will tell you he cannot do it for you because untimely death is the consequence from ‘Ajonu’, and it will beat them to death.
Can’t you see that it is accidents killing most of them? It is only this one that died while drying up alive.
Someone told me just last night that he wanted to release a new album and asked me to help promote it. I told him we should talk this morning, and now today he is dead. Me, I have not accepted that this boy is dead o.”

Tope Osoba, the Nollywood actress who was battling breast cancer, has passed away at the age of 40.
Foluke Daramola, Osoba’s colleague, broke the news on Wednesday via her Instagram page.
In November 2024, the actress had solicited financial assistance after undergoing her first breast cancer surgery.
Daramola had previously shared her plight on social media.
According to Daramola, Osoba has already undergone one surgery but requires an additional procedure to remove the remaining particles from her breast. The second surgery is estimated to cost around N12 million.
Daramola shared a video of Osoba’s hospital examination, revealing that the actress has reached out to Bolaji Amusan, president of the Theatre Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria (TAMPAN), for support.
In an interview with BBC News Yoruba, Tope revealed that she discovered a lump in her breast through a routine self-examination.
She said the doctor initially dismissed the lump, attributing it to her childbearing age.
The actress said her persistence, however, led to further testing, which revealed that the lump was cancerous.
Tope described the day she received the diagnosis as “one of the worst days of my life”.
