Some reports on social media have it that popular reggae musician, Majek Fashek, had died. The ‘rainmaker’ was flown to London earlier in the month after his health deteriorated at a Lagos hospital where he had been receiving treatment. He is said to be suffering from “Undifferentiated Schizophrenia Rebound”.
As reports of his death made the rounds, his manager Omenka Uzoma, took to Instagram to dispel the rumour even though he said last week that the veteran singer was so sick that he can not eat or talk.
Via Fashek’s Instagram page on Sunday, September 15, Uzoma said the singer was responding to treatment and would require more donations and prayers from well-meaning fans and individuals.
The Instagram post said:
“9:30 PM from London in Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Today is Sunday, this is to inform all the well-wishers, fans and lovers of Majek Fashek back in Nigeria that Majek is not dead, he is very fine. I just stepped out now because of this ongoing music that people are saying that he is dead. Let’s not wish him dead, let’s join hands and pray for him.
