Gospel music legend Sammie Okposo has passed away. The singer passed away on Friday morning. He was 51.
His project manager, Hillary Vincent, telephoned our correspondent to confirm the information. In response to questions, he replied, “Yes, it’s true. It took place this morning.
Vincent did not provide any other information regarding the singer’s passing, so he declined to comment further. The musician allegedly slumped before being declared dead, according to unreliable online sources.
He was a well-known music producer, psalmist, and CEO of Zamar Entertainment, often known as “the Wellu Wellu master.” In 1992, Sammie Okposo began making music as a soundtrack producer for Nollywood films.
He was well-known in the limited group of Nollywood performers and producers at the time. When he founded the Sammie Okposo Praise Party, a venue that allowed many upcoming Nigerian gospel musicians to get into the scene, he later started to receive additional career flashpoints.
The Niger Delta-born musician gained notoriety for energizing the gospel music market by removing his music from the reverent setting of churches.
In 2000, he issued his debut record, Unconditional Love.
