Dramaboi: A sad story of stigma, denial, social status

“Dramaboi was my son and he will forever remain my son. My son has not being well for two years. Throughout what he has been through, it is not that I have not been around. I pleaded with him to stay home. Even though I was not staying with him, I checked on him regularly but sometimes he would shout at me or chase me away. I loved him and wanted him to be strong. The same disease that he had is the same disease that killed him. A medical report shows that he died of Neuro-Syphillis caused by HIV/AIDS,” she said.

This revelation caused mixed emotions among the star’s fans and the nation at large. The revelation came after viral posts and comments on Dramaboi’s Facebook page and various social media platforms where people bashed the late rapper's mother for abandoning her son and having not reached out to him till his demise. Many blamed her for her son’s death while others accused her of using her son’s death to seek funds.
