Baba Dee, the veteran Nigerian singer and rapper, whose real name is Dare Fasasi, has shared insights into his brother’s passing, Sound Sultan, and the illness that ultimately claimed his life during an appearance on Teju Babyface’s podcast.
The former music executive disclosed that six months before Sound Sultan’s demise, he had a premonition that his time was limited, despite receiving treatment from one of the world’s leading Hodgkin’s lymphoma hospitals.
In an emotional revelation, he recounted how his brother informed him about the doctor’s grim prognosis, saying, “This is the first time I am talking about this but everything happened very fast. He told me, ‘Dee, the doctor said I don’t have time.’
That was the first time I was hearing that kind of thing. He was okay; we were in the studio recording, and he flipped it on me. I couldn’t do anything again; I was like, ‘What is this guy saying?’
And he said again, ‘The doctor said I don’t have time.” Fasasi recounted, tears evident in his eyes.
