The statement clarified that, Sonnie Badu was rushed to the hospital on Sunday, February 26, 2017, but was discharged two hours later.
“News of the singer went viral on Sunday, 26th February, 2017, from his Instagram and management account entreating all to bear with him up in prayer as he had an emergency and was at the hospital. After about two hours, his fans were updated that he was well and has been discharged from the hospital and this led to publications of his death,” the statement explained.
