Nigerian Reggae Legend, Majek Fashek Reportedly Buried In United States

Legendary Nigerian Musician and entertainer, Majekodunmi Fashek, popularly known by the stage name, Majek Fashek, has reported been buried in New York, United States.

According to reports, Majek Fashek was laid to rest on Friday, August 21, 2020, in an event that was only attended by members of the artiste’s immediate family.

It was gathered that attempts were made to raise funds to fly his body to Nigeria, but the efforts proved abortive due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Although, the first child of the music legend, Randy, had revealed that his late father would be privately buried in the US, none of the artiste’s family members have confirmed if he had been laid to rest yesterday or not.

KanyiDaily recalls that Majek Fashek had died three months ago at the age of 57 as a result of cancer related illness in the US.
