French Rapper Werenoi Passes Away Suddenly at 31
French rapper Werenoi, whose real name was Jérémy Bana Owona, has sadly passed away at just 31 years old. He died suddenly on May 17, 2025, in a Paris hospital after experiencing a rapid health decline. While the exact cause of his death hasn’t been officially confirmed, reports suggest it was linked to a cardio-respiratory arrest.
Werenoi first made waves in the French music scene in 2021 with his breakout single “Guadalajara.” Over the next few years, he released three albums—Carré in 2023, Pyramide in 2024, and Diamant Noir in 2025—that earned him widespread praise for his honest lyrics and vivid storytelling about life in the suburbs. Despite his growing fame, he kept his private life mostly out of the spotlight.
His music struck a chord with many, making him the best-selling artist in France for both 2023 and 2024. Werenoi’s talent also led to collaborations with big names like Damso, Ninho, and Aya Nakamura, which further boosted his reputation in the French rap world.
Since his passing, fans and fellow artists have flooded social media with heartfelt tributes. Producer Babs shared a touching message, calling him his brother and expressing his love. Pop star Aya Nakamura, who worked with Werenoi, offered her condolences, and singer Pascal Obispo praised his meaningful music and powerful melodies.
Nigerian singer Timaya has spoken about elections, urging Nigerians to think carefully about their choices and the longer-term consequences of their votes.
Speaking on the state of the country, he said Nigerians have choices and should be intentional about them.
“Nobody dey advise anybody. If na wetin you dey find to chop now put for your pocket, na your business. No be one day o. Na another 4 years of hardship. If you know what’s good, you have to vote right.”
“I dey travel abroad dey see wetin dey happen na. Rich people dey abroad dey no dey stay for Nigeria, these politicians. Dey just dey work for Nigeria.”
Nigerian singer Rema has sparked reactions online after revealing the streamers he watches for entertainment.
The singer shared a list of popular streamers he follows, naming Enzo, Fanum, Agent, Kai Cenat and Okiki.
“The only streamers I fvck with are Enzo, Fanum, Agent, Kai Cenat, and Okiki.”
After he mentioned his list, Nigerians reacted and shared how some notable Nigerian streamers were not on the list, with many calling out their favourites for not being recognised by the singer.

Blaqbonez then replied, wanting to join: “Oya, make we dey together, sing as one.”
