Charly Boy Pays Tribute to Late Friend Sound Sultan

Nigerian singer Charly Boy has taken to Instagram to remember his late friend and music legend Sound Sultan. The touching tribute, posted on September 8, 2024, reflects on their deep and lasting friendship.

In his heartfelt post, Charly Boy shared a nostalgic photo of the two and wrote, “I remember my very warm friendship with one of the greats, Sound Sultan.

RIP.” His post resonated with fans and followers, sparking an outpouring of shared memories and condolences in the comments.

One commenter reminisced about their visit, saying, “RIP Mr. Sound Sultan. I loved you that year when Captain Adebayo Dosunmu and I came to your house. Continue to rest in peace, brother. May God keep your children and wife safe.”

Sound Sultan, known for his significant contributions to Nigerian music, passed away in 2021 after a brave fight against angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer.

He was just 44 years old. His death was a profound loss to the Nigerian music community, and his funeral was held at the Marlboro Muslim cemetery in New Jersey on July 11, 2021, following Islamic traditions.

Sound Sultan’s brother, Baba Dee, has since spoken about his final days, offering insights into his care. In an interview with Teju Babyface, Baba Dee revealed that the family ensured he received top-notch medical treatment.

“It was always God. We didn’t have to ask anyone for help. Everything was taken care of. He had the best treatment available for his disease,” Baba Dee explained.

Charly Boy’s tribute highlights the enduring impact of Sound Sultan’s legacy and the deep friendships he fostered throughout his life.

Fans continue to celebrate his music and remember him fondly, honouring his contributions to the industry and the personal connections he cherished.
