Nigerian singer, Abimbola Olayemi, professionally known as Oyinlomo Diamond, has raised concerns over the silence of her colleague, BBO, since the demise of singer Bayonile Bolaji, popularly known as Toluwanisings.
Naija News recalls that Toluwanisings died on October 14, 2026, after he slumped at his residence.

After the incident, BBO, a close friend of Toluwanisings, has not been seen online or in public.
Attending the deceased’s tribute night on Tuesday, BBO, who covered his face to avoid being recognised by the press, also refused to speak at the event.
Reacting to the development, Oyinlomo Diamond, in a post via her Instagram page on Wednesday, expressed worries over BBO’s silence.
While noting that grieving in silence is more dangerous than speaking out, Oyinlomo Diamond said the Nigerian gospel music industry cannot afford to lose BBO.
She said, “I hope you know we can’t afford to lose you too. Dear BBO @officialbbo_ I hope you are fine? I understand this silence. I love how genuine you are even in death. I love how you didn’t chase clout with his death.
“You can take your time to reflect, sober, be offline and REST as you wish. Because his sudden death will definitely change any hardworking youths perspective about life. Don’t be in a position where your health will demand too much from you because of overthinking. Remember, his immediate family needs you now more than before.”
