Sound Sultan’s Death Was Like A Joke To Me, Says 2Baba
Nigerian music icon Innocent Idibia, popularly know as 2Baba, said Sound Sultan was a good person, while noting that his demise was initially like a joke to him.
2face made this known while speaking on the Afrobeats Podcast with Adesola, which was shared on Thursday.
The singer said, “Sultan, I don’t know…he was one of the ‘goodest’, if I can use that word. he was one of the ‘goodest’ people you can ever come across.
“For a long time, I did not accept that fact, it was like a joke. The diagnosis was late, he did tests in Nigeria. We thought it was malaria but I don’t want to get into all that.”
Sound Sultan passed away on Sunday, July 11, 2021, at the age of 44 following a hard-fought battle with Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, a rare form of cancer.
The two were friends for over 20 years before Sultan passed away.
