Before his passing, Alexx Ekubo's whereabouts had been of concern to many as he had been off social media for a long time. His last post on social media was in December 2024.

However, it seems Omoni Oboli, a close friend of Ekubo, had been in constant communication with him.

In the screenshots, dated October 2025, Omoni shared a message from a fan who claimed she had a secret romantic relationship with Ekubo and blamed her for the breakdown of his engagement to Acholonu. The fan alleged that Omoni was the reason Fancy called off the planned wedding.

Ekubo's response was swift and laced with his signature dry humour.

"Who be this one. It is the dumb confidence in saying something untrue," he wrote.

Omoni was equally unbothered, if exasperated.
