Olofin said, “It is true that Biglo is dead. To my knowledge, he had been ill for a while. He had been battling kidney disease for a while now. He had been notifying the public via his social media account for a while now. That basically was what it is.

“The bottom line is that he had kidney ailment. I got a call from our mutual friends in America last night that he died on Friday, which was Christmas day. Unfortunately, I do not know how old he was.”

Before his death, the veteran rapper made public his kidney ailment in 2018.

The raper and singer came in into the limelight in 2004 with the hit ‘Delicious’ which featured 2shotz.
