Veteran singer Salawa Abeni has dismissed rumours of her d3ath, assuring fans she is alive and healthy.
In a video on Instagram, the Queen of Waka sang briefly and declared she was strong, thanking supporters for their concern.
She blamed the false reports on blogs chasing trends, calling the act shameful, and urged the public to ignore them.
Abeni, who rose to fame in the 1970s, made history as the first Yoruba female artist to sell over a million copies of an album.
She said: “My family, friends, and fans home and abroad. Thank you so much for your love and concern. I am alive, hail, and hearty. Please disregard all the rumours. Some blogs will do the unthinkable just to trend. It is rather shameful. The Queen is fine and doing very well. May God bless you all”.
