“You will never succeed in life”: Audio of Destiny Boy’s mother reportedly placing curse on singer surfaces

According to the audio, she claimed that even if other artistes were paid ₦1 million for performances, Destiny Boy would struggle to earn ₦50,000. She also reportedly told him to inform his herbalists that a curse had been placed on him.

A deeply emotional voicenote allegedly sent by the mother of late Afrofuji singer Destiny Boy has resurfaced online, days after his sudden death, and Nigerians can’t stop talking about it.

Destiny Boy tragically passed away on Sunday, January 18, 2026, at just 22 years old — barely months after welcoming his first child. What should have been the beginning of a new chapter became an unexpected end, leaving fans, colleagues, and loved ones heartbroken.

But now, a disturbing audio clip has reopened wounds many didn’t even know existed.

🎧 The Voicenote That Shook the Internet

In the circulating voicenote, Destiny Boy’s mother is heard speaking with pain, anger, and disappointment — words that many now find chilling given what followed.

She accused the young singer of disrespect and ingratitude, referencing the sacrifices she claimed to have made while raising him. Her words went further, allegedly declaring that his success would dry up completely.

According to the audio, she claimed that even if other artistes were paid ₦1 million for performances, Destiny Boy would struggle to earn ₦50,000. She also reportedly told him to inform his herbalists that a curse had been placed on him.

🗣️ “Harsh Words From a Place of Hurt?”

Parts of the voicenote have sparked intense debate, with many Nigerians torn between seeing a grieving, frustrated mother and questioning whether such words should ever be spoken to a child — especially one still finding his way in life.

What makes this even more painful is the timing.

At the time of his death, Destiny Boy was a young father, an artiste still evolving, still dreaming, still trying.

Now, fans are left asking uncomfortable questions:

Was there peace before his passing?

Could things have been resolved?

And why is this voicenote coming out now?
