Olu Jacobs Still Alive, Son Confirms Amid Death Rumours

Published

on

Amid widespread rumours on social media, the family of Nollywood veteran, Olu Jacobs has confirmed that the acclaimed actor is still alive.

In an interview with Channels Television on Sunday, Jacobs’ first son, Soji, debunked the false reports of his father’s death.

To dispel any doubts, Soji shared a video showing the 81-year-old actor calmly seated while having his beard shaved.

In the video, Jacobs, though appearing frail, is seen engaging in brief conversation with his barber and those around him.

The rumours of Jacobs’ death have resurfaced multiple times since November 2021, following revelations by his wife, actress Joke Silva, about his health struggles.

The family has repeatedly refuted these claims, providing videos and photos as evidence of Jacobs’ well-being.

In 2021, Silva disclosed that her husband has been battling Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) for several years, which has contributed to his absence from the film industry.

The couple has since been open about his condition, aiming to raise awareness and counteract misinformation.

She had said,  “He is dealing with issues and it has been going on for a couple of years. It is known as dementia with Lewy Body. It is a degenerative disease that affects the brain and it is almost like a Parkinson’s type of disease, it affects the brain so you don’t see the shaking. It affects the person.

“It’s been hard on him because he doesn’t understand what is going on and also on family members as well. We have gone through it over the past couple of years and we thank God.

“We have gone through some times and situations recently that I wish I had the old you here so I don’t battle these times on my own but we are grateful for the moment of clarity. I miss the times we worked together

Renowned songstress, Tiwa Savage has shared a remarkable gesture of goodwill by fellow artist Olamide.

The YBNL record label owner turned down a N100 million offer for a verse in one of her songs, according to Tiwa’s recent Instagram post.

Tiwa explained that she initially approached Olamide’s management, anticipating that he would insist on providing his contribution for free. His team set a fee of N100 million, but upon learning the artist involved was Tiwa, Olamide refused to accept the payment.

Highlighting their close, sibling-like bond, Tiwa expressed her gratitude towards Olamide for recognising the challenges faced by female artists in the music industry.

“I was talking to his management, I did not want to talk to him directly because he would want to do it for free. I was willing to pay and his team charged me N100 million. When Olamide asked them who the artiste was, he just said NO. He won’t take it,” Tiwa recounted.

“He said I’m his sister and he knows how difficult it is for a woman to make it in the industry. And guess what? He gave the verse for free. Good people exist and Baddo is one,” she added.

This act of kindness underscores Olamide’s supportive nature and his commitment to uplifting fellow artists, particularly women in the industry.

A video has surfaced online, capturing the moment Nigerian singer Davido allegedly slapped one of his mmember so staff simply identified as ‘iamSegxy’ during his wedding ceremony.

The incident, which took place just a week after Davido’s highly publicised wedding to Chioma, has ignited a flurry of reactions across social media platforms.

The footage shows the man bowing to Davido immediately after the alleged slap. Notably, Chioma, alongside media personality Ebuka Obi-Uchendu and singer B-Red, were present during the incident but appeared unfazed.

The video has garnered significant attention, with many expressing shock at the occurrence.

However, the purported victim (iamSegxy) has come forward to refute the allegations.

Taking to social media, he clarified the situation, stating, “As regards the fake video circulating on the internet, you are all commenting on something you don’t know. My boss didn’t slap me and has never slapped any of his staff. He was only cautioning me to allow the boy. The boy in question appeared from nowhere and I tried to stop him. Besides, my boss is my blood and family, I understand him so well without a word from his mouth. 30BG for life. Happy married life, boss.”

This clarification has added a new dimension to the controversy, with many supporters rallying behind Davido. Despite this, the incident continues to trend, sparking debates on the dynamics between celebrities and their staff.
