Kehinde Adegbodu, the twin brother of late gospel singer Taiwo Adegbodu, has opened up on the death of his brother.
Kemi Filani reported in March, that the singer had passed away. According to reports on Facebook, the gospel singer, who is a twin, died in the middle of the night.
In an interview with Biola Bayo, he said he is still in denial over his death and believes his brother is still alive. According to him, he sees Taiwo every day beside him at every event and goes to his grave side with their band members to speak to him.
The singer said he and his twin got married the same day and had all their children the same month. He added that he never thought of losing Taiwo because of how active he was the day he died. Kehinde said his brother’s death still baffles him, and he hasn’t recovered from it.
Kehinde said there is a death prophecy on him, as someone called him, saying he would die very soon.
“To me personally, I don’t believe my Twin, Taiwo, is dead because I see him every day beside me. Each time we have an event, my bandmates and I go to his graveside to speak to him. Someone even called me and said they should pray for me so that I don’t kpai like my brother very soon. My husband and I got married the same day, and we had all our children the same month.
I never thought of losing Taiwo at that tender age. Taiwo was so active the day he kpai; it still looks like a dream to me. None of our fathers in the Lord saw the death of Taiwo; this still baffles me to date. I haven’t recovered from the shock, but I am believing God for strength”.
Mourning the singer, Muyiwa Ademola, via his Instagram page, described Taiwo as one of the biggest talents he ever known. Affirming his love for him, he stated that the news weakened him.
Woli Arole had paid a condolence visit to the family. He shared an emotional visit, revealing that he spent time praying and encouraging the family. Urging his fans to put them in prayers, he expressed how much he would miss the deceased.
Yinka Ayefele was captured breaking down in tears at the Adegbodus ’ Twins’ house. The clip captured Yinka, who was in a wheelchair surrounded by men as he wept uncontrollably.
On Monday, March 31st, his family held a Wake-keep and Songs of Service for him, with his friends, lovers, and Nollywood actors in attendance. The gospel singer was laid to rest a day later, amidst tears.
Sharing a video from the wake-keep, Muyiwa Ademola paid tribute to him, noting that the world lost one of the most talented singers he has ever known. He prayed that the singer’s soul rest in peace.
After the burial, in a video he shared online, Kehinde cried out following an attack from armed robbers. He claimed he wasn’t around when the incident happened, but his brother’s wife and children were. The robbers carted away cash and valuables, intending to collect the donations made during his brother’s burial.
