The Nigerian music community has been thrown into mourning following reports that fast-rising singer Nanyah has allegedly passed away after being bitten by a snake.
According to claims circulating on the microblogging platform X (formerly Twitter), the singer was reportedly bitten by a snake at her residence. She was said to have lost consciousness and was rushed to the hospital, but sadly did not survive the incident.
As of the time of filing this report, the news remains unconfirmed, as no official statement has been released by her family or close associates.
Adding to the speculation, a video clip has surfaced online showing a long black snake being held by a man whose face was not revealed. While the clip has fueled conversations online, its direct connection to the alleged incident has not been verified.
