The 30 Billion Gang (30BG) and the entire Nigerian entertainment industry have been thrown into mourning today, March 4, 2026, following the tragic news from Davido’s longest-serving logistics manager, Afeare Isreal, popularly known as Isreal DMW.
Taking to his Instagram stories in the early hours of this morning, Isreal shared the devastating news that his father has passed away.
A Touching Tribute to a Patriarch
Isreal, known for his energetic personality and unwavering loyalty to Davido, showed a softer, more vulnerable side today. He posted a series of emotional throwback videos capturing "vibes" and fun moments he shared with his father.
In one of the clips, the elder Afeare is seen smiling and interacting with his son, a stark contrast to the somber mood of the announcement. Isreal captioned the posts with broken heart emojis, signaling a deep personal loss for the Edo-born socialite.
The Industry Reacts
As soon as the news broke, the comment sections across social media platforms were flooded with messages of support. Members of the DMW crew, including Davido himself, and several Nollywood stars have reached out to offer their condolences.
Fans’ Support: Thousands of fans have taken to X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram to trend the news, many noting how Isreal often spoke fondly of his roots and his family in Benin City.
Celebrity Tributes: Notable figures in the industry have been resharing Isreal’s posts, praying for the repose of his father's soul and for the strength of the Afeare family during this difficult time.
What’s Next?
While burial arrangements are yet to be announced, the 30BG family is expected to turn up in full force to support one of their most dedicated members. Isreal DMW has always been the "life of the party," but today, the music has paused as he honors the man who gave him life.
"Rest in peace, Papa Isreal. Your legacy lives on through your son."
