It’s now common knowledge that the nation’s entertainment industry on Sunday lost one of its very talented artistes to the cold hands of death in faraway United States of America.

Singer, songwriter, actor and movie producer, Olanrewaju Fasasi, popularly known as Sound Sultan died from throat cancer at age 44 and was buried same day.

Not many knew the other side of the father of three but Nigeria’s laugh merchant,

Bright Okpocha, professionally known as Basketmouth, took to his Instagram page to pay tribute to the late musician.

In the post, Basketmouth revealed many things people probably did not know about Sound Sultan when he was alive.

Among these unknown attributes are that Sound Sultan was unarguably one of the best writers, a brilliant actor and one of the best comedians in the country.

“For over 20yrs, not once did I see you lose your cool, a wise man, a humble man, kind hearted…a true definition of a good friend.

“I will definitely miss those very early hours of the day that I will call you and share my crazy ideas with you, while taking notes as you throw in your genius touch.

“You were selfless, discipline and professional, unarguably one of the best writers I’ve seen, a brilliant actor, musician and even though you never did it…you were one of the best comedians I’ve ever seen.

“One of the most creative humans I’ve ever met, extremely intelligent, with so much love to give.

“We lost a good man today, we lost a great man.

“You were the best of us all and I will miss you so much.

“I love you Salty Salty. @soundsultan,” narrated Basketmouth.
