The manager to Nigerian reggae musician Majaek Fashek says that, contrary to rumours, the artist is in fact not dead.
Umenka Uzoma made this known via Fashek’s Instagram page on Sunday, September 15. According to him, reports on social media about Majek Fashek’s death are mere rumours. He also said the singer is responding to treatment and would require more donations and prayers from well-meaning fans and individuals.
The Instagram post said:
