In August 2021, it was rumored that the actor had died from kidney surgery at the University College Hospital Ibadan, Oyo State. The Theatre Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners of Nigeria (TAMPAN) however denied the rumors about his death, describing it as fake news. Olaiya Igwe had also disclosed some time ago that his biggest regret in life remains his parents’ decision to give him a tribal mark.
Mr. Latin shared a picture and revealed that he visited Olaiya Igwe at home and he was very pleased with his fast recovery process.
He wrote;
