Controversial singer, Charles Oputa, better known as Charly Boy, has opened up about his unusual practice of sleeping inside a coffin in his house.
The septuagenarian artist made this revelation during a recent appearance on an episode of The Honest Bunch.
Co-host Ezinne inquired about a previous rumor, asking, “There was a time I heard you had a coffin and go to sleep in it for hours or days. Is that true?”
Charly Boy confirmed with a simple “Yes.”
Ezinne probed further, asking, “Why?”
Charly Boy cryptically replied, “Z!”
In a 2013 interview, Charly Boy had previously explained his unorthodox habit. He clarified, “Point of correction, I do not sleep in a casket, I sleep on my bed, it’s big and comfy.
“I only lay in my ‘casket’ when I do my meditation because it helps me to be focused. It tells me more about the imminence of death.
“My casket is a reminder. It wakes me up from slumber. It tells me, ‘Guy, you have got little or no time left, wake up, be creative, and work.'”
KanyiDaily recalls that Charly Boy also disclosed that he had been scamming banks, even before the notorious 419 or ‘Yahoo Yahoo’ cyberfraud became popular in Nigeria.
