Meanwhile, her longtime friend and colleague Lanre Alewilese has opened up about what the singer endured in her final weeks.
In a circulating video, he revealed that Omije Ojumi became extremely weak toward the end and could neither open her eyes nor communicate, highlighting the severity of her condition.
Alewilese expressed how emotionally painful it was to witness her struggle.
He said he intentionally refrained from sharing updates on her health while she was alive because the situation offered no encouraging news, and going public would have only caused distress without providing hope.
He added that keeping her condition private was his way of preserving her dignity and shielding fans from unnecessary worry.
