Diri  got married to Chidinma Osaki Diri in August 2021.

Friends on social media have paid tribute to him.

Hector Christopher Dokubo wrote on Facebook: “I have received many calls on the news of your sudden departure this morning [15 October]. My good friend Osaki Diri I still find it hard to believe that you are no longer with us on this earth. What is our life but a succession of preludes to that unknown song whose first solemn note is sounded by death?

“I never knew that we will never see and communicate again after the 5th of October. I never knew that 5 of October will be the last time we will shake each other, embrace ourselves, crack joke, smile at each other, snapped together, seat together and talk.

“Though nothing surprised me even when I am expecting nothing because that’s life. It pains me when young men die though I am not afraid to die even when I am careful. De Kofi Anna Sleep well 😭😭😭😭“

Gabriel Chimamaka Gift added: “OMG! Still in great shock. U just wedded on the August na. U taught me music, oh… Y this time. Mtcheew RIP choirmaster.”
