Gospel artiste Taiwo Adegbodu is dead
Taiwo Adegbodu, one half of the twin duo known as “The Adegbodu Twins,” has died.
His death was announced on Sunday via the artiste’s official Facebook fan page.
“Taiwo, why will you leave me and your kids without notification? My heart is bleeding, Lord how do you want me to cope without him?” the post stated.
“God why? This is too much for me to bear!!!” it added.
As of press time, the cause of the artiste’s death had not been disclosed.
Reacting to the incident, gospel singer Esther Igbekele posted a short tribute via her official Instagram page.
“Erin wo, Ajanaku sun bi oke. Hard to bear. Goodnight, bro,” Mrs Igbekele said.
The Adegbodu Twins became prominent following the release of their debut album, titled Faratimi (Lean on Me), in 1999.
Other major albums by the twin duo include Shower Your Blessing, Emi Mimo, Igbagbo Dun, Ma Beru and Adura Mi Gba, among many others.
In 2024, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke appointed the twins as special advisers on entertainment and tourism, in recognition of their contributions to gospel music and entertainment.
