Eelive.ng had earlier reported how Sound Sultan died at the age of 44 after a long battle with Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma.
The deceased was then buried on July 11 in New Jersey, United States according to Islamic rites.
His career in show business started in the 1990s, when he hosted shows to raise money for studio sessions.
By 1999, he had won numerous local talent-hunt shows. He released his first single “Jagbajantis” in 2000, which was a hit in Nigeria. After independently releasing other singles and featuring in hit songs of other artists, he then signed for Kennis Music.
Under Kennis Music, Sound Sultan released four albums. By 2007, his contract with the label expired and he partnered with Baba Dee to start Naija Ninjas.
Under Naija Ninjas, he released Back From The Future (2010) and signed artists such as Karma Da Rapper, Young GreyC, Shawn and Blacka.
In 2012, Sound Sultan became a UN Ambassador for Peace for his exemplary lifestyle and career.
