On March 26, 2024, Karma President publicly claimed that Jacobs occupied a peculiar position between the living and the dead.

"Olu Jacobs is dead in the spiritual world, but he's alive. The body is alive, but dead in the spiritual world," he said at the time.

He went further, alleging that the actor's soul had already been placed in a casket in the spiritual realm, even as Jacobs continued to live physically.

When the statement was first made, Jacobs was still alive but had largely retreated from public life amid persistent concerns about his well-being.

His wife, veteran actress Joke Silva, had previously spoken openly about his battle with dementia with Lewy bodies, a condition that had kept him out of the spotlight for an extended period.
