Popular Nigerian musician, Olanrewaju Fasasi, popularly known as Sound Sultan, has been buried amidst tears.

The 44-year-old singer was buried in New Jersey, U.S. on Sunday (the same day he died) according to Muslim rites.

PREMIUM TIMES had reported how his death was announced in a statement on Sunday morning by his family.

His relative, Kayode Fasasi, who signed the statement, said Sound Sultan passed on after a “hard-fought battle” with the Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

He is survived by a wife, three children and his siblings.


His colleague, Lamboginny, who is now based in the U.S., hosted an Instagram live video showing the burial ceremony of the late Jagbajantis crooner.

The family of the late singer and his friends, dressed in black outfits as they mourned his sudden passing were present. Singer, Olamide, was also spotted at the funeral.

His wife, Farida, was completely inconsolable as she witnessed her husband’s burial.

The mother-of-three was held by two women who comforted her. At a point, she was also spotted laying on her late husband’s coffin while crying bitterly before it was finally lowered into the grave.
