The rumor appears to have gained significant momentum on TikTok, where users have begun posting tribute videos. One notable post that has sparked widespread panic featured the caption:
“Omije Oju Mi… another star gone. Rest in peace.”
Her battle with illness has been a point of concern for her followers for months, which has unfortunately made the current rumors even more believable to some.
