Popular Dubai-based Nigerian socialite, Sodiq Oluwadamilola aka Dammie Richie, has reportedly passed on.

It is alleged that Dammie Richie had been battling depression for about 2 years, and he gave up on the fight as he ended it all over the weekend by allegedly committing suicide.

A Twitter user identified as @AyoAfrika1 claimed Damm had to have sought help and even checked into rehab at some point, but all efforts failed.

Some celebrities including legendary musician, Sina Rambo and former Big Brother Naija housemate, Khloe mourned his death on their respective social media pages.
