The Nigerian gospel music industry has been thrown into mourning following the reported death of a popular gospel singer, Bolaji Olanrewaju, widely known as Big Bolaji.
Big Bolaji, carved a niche for himself in the gospel music scene with several concerts and praise nights to his name.
Known for his dynamic stage presence and unique style of worship that endeared him to many, he had been a regular face at major Christian gatherings across the country.
Although details surrounding his demise remain sketchy as of press time, the news of his passing was first made public by a cleric, Prophet Joshua Olayiwola, who took to his verified Facebook page to announce the heartbreaking news.
Prophet Olayiwola’s post, though brief, sparked a wave of reactions among fans and colleagues of the late gospel artiste, who is celebrated for his energetic praise sessions and soul-lifting gospel ministration.
Also reacting to the news, another prominent gospel figure and comedian, Woli Agba, expressed his shock on one of his official Facebook pages, where he posed a rhetorical question in response to the rumoured death, further igniting concerns over the authenticity of the report.
His last major public appearance was in November 2024, when he performed alongside other gospel acts such as Senwele Jesu at the Night of Praise event held in Ondo State.
