Veteran singer, Dare Fasasi better known as Baba Dee, has debunked reports that his younger brother, Sound Sultan, is battling throat cancer.
On Wednesday, May 12, reports went rife on social media that the 44-year-old born Olanrewaju Fasasi was diagnosed with throat cancer and was undergoing chemotherapy in the United States.
Although, Baba Dee, according to TheNation, confirmed that the ‘Jagbajantis’ singer is ill, he expressed surprise at the news making rounds on social media that his diagnosis is throat cancer, dismissing the report,
Baba Dee in a terse message wrote: “He is sick and he is getting better in New York. But throat cancer. Na lie”, but did not disclose the illness the younger brother is suffering from.
Also, another renowned singer, ID Cabasa in reaction to a tweet about Sound Sultan being diagnosed with throat cancer said;
