May His soul rest in perfect peace.

RIP DJ...



I hope everyone still alive see this as a reminder that we are all signing out and after that we'd be at God's Mercy to be accepted or rejected for an eternity.


Start a relationship with God.



May God stand with your loved ones in this hard time.....

I initially thought this was joke until i consulted google and cleared my doubts.

I nearly cried hearing this news

Grew up in the Republic of Benin and listened to his music alot...He was the only french artist I knew and listened to...

Even when I came back to Nigeria, I still judiciously followed his music, followed him on instagram and kept tabs with his music and performance on YouTube till date...Coupe decale was life---the dances, the energetic performance---I even knew the names of his dancers and followed them as well especially ordinateur

Rest well Yorobo

Na wa oooooh...... this life nah pot of cold beans..... R.I.P bro
