    He is the forth of six children . He developed interest in music in 1991 and so started writing lyrics at school parties.
Although Sound Sultan commenced his music career as a rapper, he later diversified into different music genres. He sings R&B, Afrobeat, Soul, and Fuji.
    He believed that music artists should not be judged based on their music genre because the message of the song is the most important thing.
    He worked with Wyclef Jean, 2face Idibia and Faze on Wyclef's welcome to Haiti Creole 101 album.
    Wyclef and Sound sultan then collaborated on two other projects; King of my country in 2009 and People Bad in 2012.

    He became a UN Ambassador for peace in 2012.
    His death was announced in a statement on sunday morning, 11th June, 2021, by his family.
    He died of Angioimmunoblastic T-cell Lymphoma (AITL), which is a group of related malignancies (cancers).
    His relative, Kayode Fasasi, said Sond Sultan passed on after a "hard fought battle" with the ailment.
He is survived by a wife, three children and his siblings.
His death has no doubt thrown the Nigerian music and entertainment into mourning. He was one of Nigeria's finest.

We are all born to die. Be good whenever you can. There is nothing here.
May his soul rest in perfect peace. Amen.

💔ILLUSION💔

 But as he was about to penetrate, I demanded he use protection. “Babe”, he laughed,” you hate condoms” “I know” I replied and laughed too but still insisted.  Groaning with frustration at the interruption of our session, he got up, went to the drawer and took a pack out.  I noticed it wasn't sealed. He took out the content and instead of three, it was just two. “Why is one missing?” I asked, looking at him suspiciously and knowingly. He refused to answer and wanted to get down to business but I pulled away and got up. “Why is one missing?” I asked again “This was how I bought it. Some come in twos, you know” “Don’t you lie to me. You and I know that certain brand comes in threes. Where is the third?” “Babe, I'm a man…”, he replied, smiling and reaching for me but I moved away. I got up and rushed into the bathroom immediately, refusing to believe what my stupid self was saying to me again and again. I knew... I had always known but… I thought, just this once, it would be diffe

He looked like he'd rushed out of the house in a hurry. "My baby... You did it!!!" He screamed and picked her up. Spinning her round and found till she felt dizzy. "Put me down... Put me down" she protested. "I can't believe this," he said again "Can't believe what? You thought I'd fail?" She asked, feigning annoyance. "What? Hell no! I told you earlier, my Crystal is a fighter. She will take that which belongs to her with full force" he hyped. She laughed.  "I thought you said you would cook lunch before I got home. What changed your mind?" She asked, suddenly remembering that he'd said so. "Nay nay. I said I would cook lunch if you didn't get the job and if I saw you crying, your shoes in your hand. But right now, no

  ❣️STAY WITH ME❣️ Seated behind the desk in all his dignity was Dave!!!! Same Dave who said he was there for an interview. "I knew it!" She stomped her foot on the floor. "Courtesy Miss Adams. Have a seat and let us begin" "Yes... Uhm... Yes sir" she replied, looking confused. Was she supposed to still refer to him as Dave or sir? She sat on a chair directly facing him. She wasn't prepared for this. No, wait, she was prepared but this man behind that desk destroyed it within a few minutes.  She forgot everything she was supposed to say, including the possible questions and answers. And then she had gone ahead and blabbed her mouth earlier about the paints looking dull and eerie, the entrance doors being too small, and so on. "First Miss Adams, I'd like you to know that whatever happened outside this office remains there. Forget about the guy who introduced himself to you as Dave. Right now, I'm your interviewer and might be your boss in t
