Majekodunmi Fasheke,
Nigerian reggae singer and guitarist, is dead.
He was aged 71.
Omenka Uzoma, his
manager confirmed the incident in a post on Instagram.
“It is true that the
African legendary icon has gone to be with the Lord his maker,” Omenka said.
“I would say we
should celebrate his achievements, he has done a lot for Nigeria and for
Nigeria. Whatever the family decides, I will get to you. This is all I have to
say for now.”
He was dubbed ‘The
Rainmaker’ because of that song.
In 2019, the singer
was ill and was abroad for treatment.
“Yes, it is true
that we’re here in Queen Elizabeth hospital in England. Majek is very sick but
he’s not dead. The thing is that let’s not wish him dead, for people that speak
fake news. Let’s pray for him to survive it,” his manager said at the time.
“We only need
financial support, as I said. I’ve run out of money. Since I came to England,
I’ve been doing this alone for the past three years”
In a 2017 interview,
the late singer denied drug use saying God gives him the inspiration to make
good songs and thereby it remains alive.
“My music cannot
fade out because I believe in Jesus Christ,” he said at the time.
He had other hit
songs including ‘So Long Too Long’.
