“As of 1:30am on Tuesday, I was reading comments about my presentation to Ciara, when my mum rushed into my room asking me to come see my dad,” said Alesh.
“On seeing him, I saw the worst expression on his face with little tears struggling for breath. He managed to tell us he couldn’t breathe, without wasting time, we rushed him out to the hospital. It’s quite unfortunate that four hospitals didn’t attend to us until we took him to the 5th hospital where he was confirmed dead.”
The artiste wrote on his Facebook account: “Wish my dad lived to see his son as he trends all over the world, but unfortunately, the man who gave me his last penny for transportation to deliver this (portrait), on Sunday, two days ago, passed away about 1:30am on Tuesday. About time I delivered my #Artsassination.
“Well, his heart lives in me, I’ll make you proud dad; I PROMISE…This is for you pop! No consoling or R.I.P comments please! My dad only passed away to rest and watch me continue from where he stopped, not dead! #Aleshian.”
