Legendary Nigerian singer and songwriter, Charles Oputa, better known as Charly Boy has opened up on why he sometimes sleeps in a coffin in his house.
Speaking in a recent episode of The Honest Bunch podcast, with media personality, Nedu, Charly Boy revealed that he has a coffin in his home and occasionally sleeps in it for hours.
One of the co-hosts, Ezinne asked: “There was a time I heard you had a coffin and went to sleep in it for hours or days. Is that true?”
Charly Boy replied, “Yes.”
Ezinne asked again, “Why?
Charly Boy responds, “ 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”.
