Girlfriend of late label owner, Kashy Godson says artiste, Barry Jhay, not to blame for his demise

Aliyah, the girlfriend of the late Nigerian music executive and record label owner, Kashy Godson has defended singer, Barry Jhay.

According to Aliyah, the singer is not to blame for the death of his boss.

Recall several days ago, Barry Jhay was arrested in Ghana following the sudden death of Cash Nation Entertainment boss, Kashy Godson.

Aliyah who said she dated the late C.E.O. of Cash Nation Entertainment for two years said Barry Jhay had nothing to do with his death.

I want everyone to know that he was not depressed, neither was he mentally ill or on some hard drugs. Do not believe everything you see on the Internet,” she wrote.

“He was a happy soul. I can say I have been the closest to him for the past two years as I lived with him. So when I say I know him inside out, from the back of my head, I mean that shit.”

“By the way, it was not Barry Jhay. Stop sending him and his family members death threats.”

Kashy Godson died on Sunday, March 7, 2021, after allegedly committing suicide.

While some allege he jumped from his house balcony after battling depression for a long time, others alleged he was pushed off the building by someone he had a business transaction with.

The Technical Director of Kwara Falcons Basketball Club of Ilorin, Steve Onishola, who happens to be the elder brother of late popular Yoruba actress, Mrs. Folake Aremu, popularly known as “Orisabunmi”, is dead.

Onishola’s death which is coming barely 24-hours after the demise of her younger sister Orisabunmi was confirmed on Thursday by the State Chairman of the Basketball association, Dr. Joseph Adeyemo, who revealed that he died in Illorin, the Kwara State capital.

Adeyemo who issued a statement announcing the death of the late basketball coach who was the Manager of Falcons on different occasions before he was appointed the club’s technical director, said that Onishola passed on at the age of 71 following a brief illness.

He said: “We are very sad by this unfortunate incident. In fact, we can’t find the right word to describe this moment.

“Coach Onishola was the symbol of basketball in Kwara State; he was one of the most brilliant coaches of the game in Nigeria.

“The entire basketball family extends its deepest condolences to the deceased’s family and loved ones.”

Onishola’s sister, Orisabunmi, who came to the limelight for her starring role in the blockbuster Yoruba movie, “Arelu” in 1987 died after a brief illness at her residence in Ibadan, Oyo State, about two days ago.

Orisabunmi’s death was confirmed by another veteran actor, Jide Kosoko, who described her demise as a terrible blow to the Nigerian theatre arts industry.
