On Wednesday 15th October late gospel singer Taiwo Oshadipe was laid to rest at the Victoria Court Vaults (Lekki-Epe Expressway, Lagos) in a short ceremony devoid of any fanfare with no entertainers at the one-hour burial ceremony. In attendance were her twin Kehinde, siblings Bukola & Idowu and her 14-month-old son Obama.
According to Report, her twin Kehinde who wore all white and kept her grief covered with sunglasses, was inconsolable and had to be held throughout the 1-hour ceremony. She kept saying, ‘Taiwo, Taiwo, Why did you leave me?’
Just before the casket was lowered into the grave, Kehinde asked to have some time alone to say her final goodbye to her twin. The officiating pastor obliged, giving her 5 minutes alone with the coffin.
Following her death it was reported that the twins were married to twin brothers, there are online reports that they got married in 2011, but according to their manager this is NOT true!
He told Us, “I can tell you authoritatively that she was never married and the tale is total falsehood.”
She did have a child though, 14-month-old Obama and since her passing details about her private life are making their way to the media and they are quite shocking

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 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. The music enthusiast was instrumental to the success of their last album, Destiny Calling, which was launched at Eko Hotel & Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos in 2011.
He allegedly bought the twins each Hyundai. It was rumored that he also gifted 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. The matter allegedly caused serious disaffection between her lover and his wife.
The results of 30 year-old Taiwo’s autopsy have been revealed and she is said to have died from cardiopulmonary failure. Heart failure essentially, this is when blood isn’t being supplied to the heart.
May her soul rest in peace!
