Fortunate Ateumunname Peter
popularly known as Fortune, the official photographer to popular Nigerian
musician, Davido Adeleke has died.
The celebrity photographer was
24.
His last post on his Instagram
page was on July 10, his birthday.
According to multiple sources,
the photographer drowned at a photo shoot location in Lagos, on Tuesday
evening, September 21, 2021.
“Davido’s photographer Fortune is
dead. Jesus Christ. F**k I’m heartbroken, he’s my friend. I’m so heartbroken.
It shouldn’t have been fortune God, he’s hardworking, very ambitious, he worked
so hard to gain the spot he achieved like wtf,”
one Diana tweeted.
Fortune’s death comes just three
months after the death of the hit maker’s close aide Habeeb Ademola Uthman, popularly
known as Obama DMW, who died as a result of a heart condition.
Fortune hailed from Ngor Okpala,
Imo State. He was the second child of seven siblings.
According to his personal
website, the seasoned creative who started out as a graphic designer evolved
from Photography to directing of videos and other forms of motion pictures.
The Afrocentric and hustling
nature of the Lagos life inspired his works, describing himself a thorough bred
“Lagosian”.
Fortune was Davido’s personal
photographer and accorded him the opportunity to have toured over 50 cities in
the world (including the Middle East, United Kingdom, South Africa and Other Parts
of Africa ) spreading his love for his craft and documenting appealing images
to the world of art.
Fortunate co-founded a production
company with his Partner David Olaleye, Gracelle productions, as a hub where
other creatives and artistes can collaborate on projects together as also
render production solutions in diverse capacities.
Fortunate is the second close
associate of Davido, who has died this year. In December 2020, Davido’s
bodyguard Tijani Olamilekan aka TeeJay died after a battle with an illness.
In October 2017, the famous
singer lost three friends to death in one week.
Davido, and other DMW crew are
yet to react to the news of the time of filing this report.
