Sound Sultan was
born Olanrewaju
Abdul-Ganiu Fasasi on November 27, 1976 – July 11, 2021.
He was a Nigerian rapper, singer, songwriter, actor, comedian
and recording artist.
He was regarded as one of the pacesetters of modern hip-hop music
in Nigeria.
He was notable for using his music to speak against poverty,
corruption, bad governance and societal ills in Nigeria.
In
2009, Sound Sultan married his long-term girlfriend Chichi Morah, now known as
Farida Fasasi. They had three children together.
On
May 12, 2021, it was reported that Sound Sultan was somewhere in the USA
receiving chemotherapy as he was reportedly diagnosed Angioimmunoblastic
T-cell lymphoma in the throat.
He
died on July 11, 2021 at the age of forty-four as a result of complications
from the illness.
Recently, at Terra Kulture, Lagos, he was honoured by music industry colleagues, fans and family.
It took his death to
bring back Black Face, 2Face and Faze to form Plantashun Boiz to perform one of
their hits.
Watch the performance video.
His wife and children will need your help.

My heart goes out to Dare Fasasi.
Dare and I attended the Copyright X Intellectual Property Law class sponsored
by Harvard Law School in 2017 but I had to repeat the class because I fell
sick.
I will miss you.
Musically yours,
DJ Irawo
