Popular Nigerian media personality, Yemi Sonde, who was one of the late singer, Aduke Ajayi Gold’s closest confidants, has broken his silence to reveal the devastating truth behind the tragedy that killed her.
As the Gospel community grapples with the loss of this shining light, the news of her passing, shared on Tuesday by fellow gospel artist Esther Igbekele, sent shockwaves across social media..
Until now, the circumstances surrounding her death had remained shrouded in mystery.
However, during his recent broadcast on Yes 101.7 FM Ibadan, Yemi Sonde bared it all, peeling back the curtain on the heart-wrenching details of what led to her untimely demise.
Yemi Sonde began by painting a vivid picture of Aduke Gold’s life, recounting the trials and triumphs that shaped her journey. He spoke of how she was groomed by Gospel music veteran, Tope Alabi, who recognized her rare talent and named her Aduke Gold.
He also highlighted the pivotal role played by Senator Michael Opeyemi Bamidele, her benefactor, who singlehandedly sponsored her education, guided her from the tender age of four, when she became an orphan, to the moment she started to ascend the heights of her career.
With a voice heavy with emotion, Yemi lamented the cruel irony of Aduke Gold’s life—a life marked by struggle, resilience, and finally, a taste of success, only to be cut short just as she was beginning to reap the rewards of her hard work.
He waxed lyrical about her immense talent, humility, and the profound impact she had on those fortunate enough to know her.
Yemi’s voice cracked with grief as he recounted the moment he heard the news of her death. Disbelief gripped him, prompting him to frantically dial her number, hoping against hope that it was all a terrible mistake. But when the phone rang unanswered, the cold reality set in, and the weight of loss crushed his spirit.
In a revelation that left listeners stunned, Yemi Sonde disclosed that what ultimately claimed Aduke Gold’s life was a routine medical procedure—a fibroid operation, something so common and seemingly harmless that many undergo it without a second thought.
Yet, for Aduke Gold, it proved fatal, a cruel twist of fate that snatched her away from the world in the prime of her life.
