Commedien Princess writes the longest industry tribute in honour of Sound Sultan

Princess Comedian and Sound Sultan



Among all the tributes showered on the late musician, Olanrewaju Fasasi a.k.a Sound Sultan by players in the nation’s entertainment industry, the tribute by talented Nigerian comedian, content creator, actress and influencer Damilola Adekoya, popularly known as Princess Comedian, happened to be the longest.

The 40 years old comedienne from Ogun State born in Ile-Ife, Osun State on Monday posted a video on the social media showing her rocking to Joeboy's "Baby" musical video with Sound Sultan.

Without paragraphing, she wrote:

Olanrewaju you didn’t say you would leave soon. Since we were little growing up in Satellite, you have never gone back on your words.

When our mothers chastised me for being playful at 8, you always stood behind me. Despite your illness you wanted to be sure my daughter and I were ok. We spoke almost every day and days you could not talk you just signalled me to keep talking while you watched me on video. Sebi you said when you get better ama soro. Kilode to fimi sile? Who will call me ‘ode’ when I am sad and say “you better be thankful some people have it worse” Who will I call when I am bullied that will cry with me. Bidemi does not understand what is going on. Zara kept shouting Allah! Mayowa cried the most. Lanre!!!! Your wife is completely shattered, you know how much she adored you. Aunty mi was just talking funny she wept all through. Baba Dee was dishing out orders and trying to be strong but I saw him cry for the first time in my life. Kay is still in shock, he kept saying I am fine but couldn’t stop crying. Oyin and Mama are on another level of pain. Why did you have to leave? Ko da o, Lanre you were my confidant, my supporter, my brother, my good place when things were bad. Ha! osan ti ja, orun dopa. Sleep well Olanrewaju.

Congratulations if you were able to read to the end.
