Taiwo Oshadipe was buried today at Victoria Court Vaults, Lekki-Epe Expressway, Lagos, without fanfare. There was no dust-to-dust rite.
The funeral which was mainly a family affair with no notable entertainer or celebrity at the vicinity, lasted less than an hour.
It was such an emotional sight as Kehinde kept calling her name, ‘Taiwo, Taiwo’ and chanting, ‘Why did you leave me?’
Before the casket was lowered, Kehinde, in an all-white attire, pleaded to have a word with her...the officiating pastor from Redeemed Christian Church of God, Abule Egba (Lagos) zone, had to permit her to have five minutes of privacy.
WAS SHE MARRIED?!
In an exclusive chat with Encomium;
“I can tell you authoritatively that she was never married and the tale is total falsehood.”
According to family source, if they were married they would not be staying together at their family house.
Romance, Marriage and Death:
In 2012, after the twins were burgled out of their Lagos apartment, one of the singing sisters Taiwo, was alleged to have been dating one Captain. It’s a common knowledge that the dark Captain, is the financier and godfather of the twins. He dotted on them like his own children. He helped them achieve the little success they have been able to record lately. If you may recall, the music enthusiast was instrumental to the success of their last album, Destiny Calling, launch held at Eko Hotel & Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos in 2011.
He allegedly bought the two cute Hyundai cars the girls drive around Lagos. It was rumored that he also pampered Taiwo, with a new Hyundai Elantra, on her birthday in 2012.
Rumors said that what was shrouded in secrecy was the hot romance between Taiwo and the Captain.
Speculators further informed that the lid blew open when Taiwo allegedly took in for him.
Realizing the mess he was heading for, the miffed Captain, dashed her hope and cajoled her to terminate the unwanted pregnancy. Immediately, after she succumbed, and the pain of flushing out the embryo was over they claimed that he started withdrawing from her.
“All the spoils, stopped for the girls when he made the attempt to retrieve the new car. Taiwo, became mad at him and threatened to wreck his family by revealing everything that transpired between them to his wife,” the source quipped, corroborating, the saying, ‘hell hath no fury, like a woman scorned.’
Although, in 2013, that Taiwo Oshadipe, the second half of talented musicians, Oshadipe Twins, delivered a baby boy, was no longer news. But the paternity of the new bundle of joy was shrouded in secrecy. The beautiful and highly skilled musician, who was elated with the arrival of the baby, had always dodged any question that had to do with the father of the baby as she was reluctant to let the cat out of the bag.
But, the lid on the secret appeared to have been blown open with a shocking rumour that the father of the baby is the Captain and financier of the group. They insisted that the baby is a result of Taiwo Oshadipe’s long time secret romance with him.
Taiwo and her sister were reportedly relocated from their apartment in Oko Oba area of Lagos to a posh apartment in an undisclosed area of Lagos by her lover, when her stomach was protruding.
