“I am deeply troubled by the deaths of young men and women. This is not God’s plan for us. We say no to untimely death!

“Toluwanisings, we must get to the root of this!”

The singer, whose real name was given by his family as Minister Olayemi Bayonile Bolaji, reportedly died in the early hours of Wednesday. He was said to be in his 30s.

Toluwanisings was known for his gospel music and worship performances, with songs including ‘Kos’oluwa Laye’, ‘A Very Big God’, ‘E Lagbara’ and ‘Unreserved Praise’.

His music gained wider attention in 2021 after comedian and content creator Woli Arole shared one of his songs online, helping introduce his work to a broader audience.

His death has left fans and admirers mourning a gospel minister whose music reached listeners through worship performances and social media.

As tributes continue to emerge, the family has asked the public to keep his wife and loved ones in their prayers while it makes arrangements for his funeral.
