Naija Artist BigLo Reportedly Dead

He died on Christmas day, according to close relatives.

Although the cause of his death has yet to be confirmed, he died after fighting kidney disease, reports claim.

Biglo was popular with fellow musicians, 2shotz and StylPlus, especially in the early 2000s.

Tributes from friends and colleagues have been coming in.

Dear BIGLO, you heard the sad news that you passed away last night. You fought the whole way bravely, but GOD the Almighty knows best. We’re going to keep the fire burning. Rest in peace, bro,” wrote Jazzman Olofin in an Instagram post.

His death occurred about the same time that Chico Ejiro, the veteran Nollywood filmmaker, died.

Ejiro died from a seizure in the early hours of Christmas Day. He had just finished directing his new Christmas Eve film.
