Five Star Music artiste, Skiibii, has finally spoken up following the drama created by his death hoax, late last week.

Singer, Skiibii, was pronounced dead on the morning of Friday, August 14.

Things took a dramatic turn when it was discovered that the singer was actually alive and undergoing treatment at a private hospital 2 hours later.

This led to a lot of controversy and Skiibii was allegedly accused of faking his own death to create publicity for himself.

Five Star Music has since given an official statement on the incident, refuting the allegations but this is the first time that the singer himself will address the issue publicly.

Five Star Music artiste, Kcee, and Skiibii, were involved in a live broadcast at <a href="" id="c9f37409-e25a-5c0e-89cd-add43320c8b6">Wazobia Fm</a> on the morning show hosted by Yaw.

Kcee disclosed that he had been in Norway at the time of the incident and expressed regrets on not being around to properly manage the situation, which he claims was exaggerated.

He also revealed and fingered <a href="http://pulse.ng/buzz/soso-soberekon-skiibiis-manager-fired-over-failed-death-stunt-id4087776.html" id="51def7df-dfa7-5ba5-b0e7-e9ba75104671">their manager, </a>, saying he made a big mistake and acted unprofessionally with the death confirmation to the news media without really verifying if Skiibii was really dead.

Finally, Skiibii decides to speak up on the incident.

He had this to say via his <a href="" id="c3a52ce5-bc8b-5bba-9da8-8fba5c6b7a19">Instagram</a> page:

"I can not say thank you enough to everyone for the love and support you have generously shown me in my time of trial."Life is full of dramatic twists and joyous moments and to this end; I thank everyone for the well wishes and prayers. Indeed God always wins."I would also seize this opportunity to admonish that being alive is a huge privilege and being in good health should never be taken for granted. Death is not a play thing neither should it be joked over and/or about."The health scare I went through this past weekend has indeed proven that love binds us all and for that singular reason, I thank you my friends and family for your support. Great thanks to my FIVE STAR FAMILY: KCEE, HARRY SONGS, EMONEY and the entire FIVE STAR MUSIC.

"I appreciate fellow entertainers whose love and respect is unending and to the fans whose support and regards never wavered regardless of the weather."God bless you all and God Bless Nigeria."
