LazyWrita Announces Own Death in Emotional Instagram Post

Nigerian content creator and poet Anda Damisa, popularly known as LazyWrita, stunned fans by announcing his own death in an Instagram post on December 29, 2025. The message, interpreted as a suicide note, detailed a life he described as full and adventurous but one he no longer had the energy to continue. While reports link the event to Lagos, authorities have not confirmed the cause of death or location. ​

Damisa built a following of nearly 100,000 on Instagram through lifestyle content, brand collaborations, and personal reflections. He also gained recognition as a poet with his 2019 collection A Lazy Poet, admired for its introspective style. Beyond Instagram, he maintained accounts on TikTok and YouTube, which he deactivated before his final post, alongside an inactive personal website. ​

In the months prior, Damisa openly discussed emotional exhaustion. An October 31 post described mental tests that taught him discipline and resilience amid heavy challenges. On November 10, he explained stepping away from social media and life, as “everything felt too loud,” joy turned heavy, and he needed space to breathe and reconnect. ​
