In some severe cases, we’ve seen these celebrities battle with their lives and sadly pass away without recovering from those illnesses.

On our list this week we will be looking at some celebrities who didn’t survive after falling sick.

1. Victor Olaotan

Olaotan’s health began to deteriorate and his friends in the industry were worried. After years of treatments, it became apparent that he could no longer foot his hospital bills.

In 2019, movie star, Richard Mofe-Damijo announced that Otedola was going to take care of his hospital bills.

While everyone thought Olaotan had been saved by the bell, a video of his colleagues soliciting for funds again on his behalf hit the Internet in 2020. Sadly in August 2021, the actor passed away after years of battling for his life.

2. Majek Fashek

The music star had sold-out concerts across Africa and even toured the world. Strangely, his stardom dipped after rumours began to fly around that he had been hit by a strange illness.

There were however speculations of the music star being involved in heavy drug use.

His management team solicited funds from well-meaning Nigerians and they got lucky when billionaire businessman, Femi Otedola came to his rescue.

Sadly, Fashek passed away in June 2020.
