<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">He disclosed this during a performance at the New Afrika Shrine on Sunday, January 6th, 2022.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">According to him, he doesn&#8217;t want a loud burial ceremony, adding that the funeral should only be attended by close friends and family members.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">In his words, “When I die, please cremate me, burn my body. It’s the most hygienic way.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">“Have you thought about Ikoyi cemetery? This Lagos has been in existence for let’s just say 60 years and people die; if they don’t die today, they die tomorrow and that burial ground has never been full.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">“And if you check it, it’s not like it’s one million acres since I was little when we used to bury people there.&#8221;</span></p>
