On Monday, January 20, 2025, the social media personality announced that he had lost his mother, Veronica Frimpong, popularly known as Amonu, a constant feature in his TikTok content.
In a viral video, Osanju shared that his mother began feeling ill a few days after attending a funeral. The content creator explained that Madam Amonu was struck with a strange illness a few days after returning from the funeral and complained about severe stomach pains.
He noted that his late mother was admitted to a medical facility for treatment, but there was no improvement in her health until her unfortunate passing.
Many of his colleagues in the content creation industry, including Oheneba Jude and Akonoba, visited his home to commiserate with his family a day after Madam Amonu's demise.
Following his mother's passing, Osanju became the target of criticism from some individuals on social media after he was spotted in multiple videos looking cheerful and not sad despite being in a mourning state.
Many felt unhappy with the social media personality's attitude and expected him to be overwhelmed with emotions since his late mother had died not long ago.

"Please be gentle on this guy. He is actually going through the grieving process. He is at the denial stage. All we see is just a few minutes of video on the internet, but do you see him behind closed doors? What he goes through? Please, let’s be calm and kind. We may never know."
