The blogosphere was thrown into a state of confusion this morning when reports claimed that Five Star Music Group label member had slumped and died. However, the rumors were dismissed as a publicity stunt to garner attention for Skiibii who dropped a single yesterday.
Hours after the news broke, Five Star front man, KCee took to Instagram to say that Skiibii didn’t die after all but he slumped and was in a hospital receiving treatment, now an official statement and photos have being released. Read below:
OFFICIAL STATEMENT, UPDATE ON SKIIBII’S CONDITION: ‘SKIIBII COLLAPSED, ADMITTED BUT RECOVERING IN HOSPITAL’
We the entire Five Star Music received with great shock the news of the demise of our artiste in the person of Abbey Toyyib Elias a.k.a Skiibii. The wide spread rumor of Skiibii being dead that shook the airwaves and social media platforms this morning is confirmed false. The 22 year old talented musician signed to Five Star Music is fine and alive. Given that he had a minor health issue this morning, He collapsed and was rushed by his brother & his friends to a nearby hospital from where he was taken to a more equipped hospital by the intervention of the CEO of Five Star Group for further treatment.
Skiibii is currently recuperating at a private hospital, Please disregard negative information hitherto passed. Death is not something to play with. Kcee and Five Star Manager Soso Soberekon are currently in Europe on a tour.
On his suppose demise as confirmed by Five Star Music or the label’s manager – At best, it was a miscommunication. The official social media accounts for future updates on every thing as regards the label, artistes and music are:@sososoberekon@iam_KCEE,@iam_emoney1@iamMrSongz @Skiibii and@FiveStarMusicNG (on Instagram).
