The family of Nigerian influencer Anda Damisa — known online as “LazyWrita” — is speaking out the day after he announced his own death on social media.
The content creator, who maintained a following of nearly 100,000 on Instagram, announced his death in a Dec. 29 post on Instagram, captioning a carousel of photos of himself, “I lived a full and adventurous life, people who know me can testify, I just don’t have the energy to continue anymore.”
Damisa was known for sharing lifestyle content and brand partnerships on the platform. He was also a published poet, releasing his poetry collection A Lazy Poet in 2019.
On Dec. 30, three of his family members released a joint statement on Instagram, acknowledging Damisa’s death and asking for privacy as they grieve the loss.
“On behalf of Lazywrita’s family, we want to thank everyone for the love, prayers, kind messages, and support we’ve received during this incredibly painful time,” the statement began. “We are heartbroken and still trying to process this loss. We kindly ask for less calls, texts instead, privacy and understanding as we grieve and support one another.”

Continued the family members: “Thank you for respecting our space and keeping us in your thoughts and prayers. 🙏”
In Damisa’s post announcing his death, he said that he had deactivated most of his social media accounts. His website also appeared to have been taken down.
In the months before his death, the internet personality opened up about taking a step back from social media and his mental health.
“October really put me through it, mentally, emotionally, and in ways I didn’t see coming,” he penned the creator in an Oct. 31 post. “Some days felt heavy and some lessons hit too hard, but I kept pushing through. I learned about patience, discipline, and the kind of strength that only shows up when life tests you.”

“It got to a time everything felt too loud and I just couldn’t keep up anymore. The things that used to bring me joy started to feel heavy, and even the simplest moments lost their spark,” explained Damisa. “So I stepped away, to breathe, to remember who I was beneath all the noise. I took a pause long enough to feel alive again.”
After news of the influencer’s death became public, his friend, who goes by “theonlydolapoo” on Instagram, reposted Damisa’s final post to his Instagram Stories, adding the text, “Mental health matters. Please speak to someone. Rest in peace brother 🤍🕊️.”
Authorities have not publicly confirmed Damisa’s cause of death.
