Nigerian gospel community mourns the passing of another singer, Dele Agbeyo popularly identified as Dele Gold.
This comes barely a month after the passing of Aduke Gold.
The self-proclaimed “Miliki Gospel King,” Dele Gold hailed from Usi, Ekiti State, but grew up in Faforiji, Osun State. He reportedly died on Wednesday after a brief illness.
His death has been confirmed by several of his colleagues, including Titi Oguntoyinbo, Akinlabi Major, Alayo Melody Singer, and Wonder Doyin Kujore, who expressed their shock and sorrow on social media.
On Instagram, Alayo Melody Singer shared his disbelief: “Dele Gold Kee??? Ahh, this is getting too much ooo!!! May God help us stop untimely deaths. Dele Agbeyo, may your soul rest well.”
Wonder Doyin Kujore took to Facebook, stating, “Nothing is in this world; let us live today and leave tomorrow for God. I find it difficult to post about people who die prematurely because it saddens my heart, but I just have to pay my last respects here. Hmm… this life is full of vanity. Rest on, Dele Agbotikuyo, Dele Gold.”
Dele Gold was known for his collaboration with Juju music legend Ebenezer Obey on his album in 2019.
