His project manager, Hillary Vincent, confirmed the sudden
death. “Yes, it’s true,” Vincent simply wrote.
ID Cabasa, a producer, said the musician slumped and died in
his Lagos home on Friday.
The circumstance of his death, as of when this report was
filed, is still sketchy.
After coming to the limelight for his music, Sammie Okposo
established himself as an international gospel artiste.
He was also a music producer, psalmist, and CEO of Zamar
Entertainment.
The singer released his first album ‘Addicted’ in 2004.
He collaborated with many other artistes in the gospel and
soul genres.
Okposo’s most recent album ‘The Statement’ (2018) was
produced by the Grammy-winning Kevin Bond.
The singer was on the receiving end of a heated backlash in
January after he admitted to cheating on his wife.
“I need to bring a very unfortunate incident to your
attention as I am not proud of it but know that this is the right thing to do,”
he had stated.
“On my recent trip to the USA in late 2021, I got intimately
involved with a lady, knowing that this was not appropriate as a married man
and a minister of the gospel.
“I am ashamed and regret my actions. It has caused a lot of
pain to my dear wife, Ozioma, my family, and me.”
The confession triggered a wave of reactions from
Christendom and fans of his music.
After initially going off social media, Okposo would return
in February 2022 to write: “I am free
from the power of sin. I am no longer bound by the fear of men.”
