Adefumni Adefunmi was recognized as an “Oba” which translates to “ruler” in the Yoruba language. He became king of Oyotunji Village in 2005 after the death of his father, Oba Adefunmi I, who founded the community in the early 1970’s. 

Located in the heart of the Gullah Geechee Corridor, the mostly self-sustained community is designed to emulate the villages of the Yoruba region of West Africa. 

During his reign, Oba Adefunmi II made efforts to bring awareness about the Yoruba religion and culture to the mainstream.

“I felt so emotional to have heard the DEPARTURE of Our King in Oyotunji @beingtheking who left the world to join his Ancestors,“ the post said. 

“I am using this medium to send my condolences to all Onisese in the world and most especially my family across the world and in Oyotunji.”
