Media personality Oga Obinna has come out addressing several speculations surrounding the passing of former Sailors Gang member and Gengetone artiste popularly known as Shalkido.

Obinna shared his tribute on Monday, 6 October 2025, just before continuing with his show, where he decried several online conspiracy theories suggesting that Shalkido was sacrificed.

“If you go to the social media space, you will see a lot of theories. Personally, I have seen a lot of theories circulating online about Shalkido’s death,” Obinna stated.

“I have seen theories that Shalkido has been sacrificed; I have seen other theories that he has been used; theories that whatever has happened to him has been planned,” he added.

Calls out attention seekers

While addressing the conspiracy theories regarding Shalkido’s death, Obinna called out the people who did not come through for him when he was alive.

“I always like to give people flowers when they are alive; after someone is gone, there is not much you can do…when someone is alive, that is when they need you the most,” Obinna reiterated.

He further advised netizens to reach out to people in need or going through something by supporting them and guiding them while they are still alive.

“Take it upon yourself to reach out to our brothers and sisters who are going through something; try and support them and guide them while they are still here,” Obina said.

Obinna further made it clear that he has no regret about being part of Shalkido’s life.

“Personally, I do not have any regrets from my interaction with Shalkido, and he knows, his family knows, and my team and my family know what we have been trying to do together,” Obina revealed.

“I am grateful to God for giving me an opportunity to be in his life for a very short period of time and trying to impact it positively,” Obina stated.
