Nigerian music star, Sound Sultan’s last post on his Instagram page before his demise has caused a stir and generated quite a number of reactions on social media.
WuzupNigeria reported that Sound Sultan passed on after battling throat cancer for a while.

Part of the lyrics of the song read: “Celebrate me now wey I Dey alive. Appreciate me, now when I dey alive. No be say when I leave this life, you go dey fake am for my back.”
Informed sources said the announcement of his death is coming a week after his post on Instagram.
