The manager of Skiibii, Soso Soberekon who had reportedly collapsed and died recently, has apologized for his handling of the unfortunate incidence.
Skiibii, had also come out to explain the circumstances that surrounded his collapse, which led many to believe he was dead. He stated that the incidence was not a publicity gimmick, and that he had a blackout, and had to be rushed to the hospital.
According to Skiibii, it was a taboo in Yorubaland where he comes from for someone to lie using death, and so he would never have contemplated such an antic to gain publicity.
Soso, on his part has been suspended by the artist’s record label, Five Star Music for his handling of the drama which created some negative publicity for the artist and the label
