Bolaji Olarewaju, fondly known as Big B, was buried on May 28 at All Souls Private Cemetery in Ibadan. The respected gospel minister and RCCG pastor passed away at age 50, leaving behind his wife and two children. His final rites were attended by loved ones, colleagues, and fellow ministers of the gospel.
  • Before his burial, tributes poured in during praise and testimony nights in Lagos and Ibadan.
  • Notable gospel figures, including Dunsin Oyekan, Tosin Bee, and Tope Alabi, celebrated his legacy.
  • Bishop T.V. Adelakun, preaching at the burial, urged attendees to live a life of “donation, not duration.”
  • Reverend Esther Ajayi and Minister Tope Alabi called for a legacy rooted in love, service, and spiritual purpose.
  • Big Bolaji was remembered as a passionate bridge builder, deeply committed to uplifting the body of Christ.
Big Bolaji’s passing is not just a loss to gospel music but to a broader community touched by his generosity, energy, and unwavering love for God. His life — and the tributes it inspired- echo a message of purpose over prominence.

As his loved ones mourn, they also celebrate a man who gave fully to ministry and people. Big B may be gone, but his music, message, and ministry live on.
