Nollywood actress and producer Temitope "Tope" Osoba has died at the age of 40, following a battle with breast cancer. News of her death was announced by actor Alesh Ola Sanni, who disclosed that she died on Tuesday evening.

Osoba publicly revealed her cancer diagnosis in 2024 after discovering a lump during a self-examination. She underwent surgery and later appealed for financial assistance to undergo a second operation as part of her treatment. After recovering, she returned to acting in 2025, describing her comeback as a new chapter in her life and pledging to raise awareness about breast cancer.

Known for her roles in Yoruba films including Ile Owo, Omo Iya Kan and Gucci Girls, Osoba built a career as both an actress and producer. Born on December 2, 1985, in Abeokuta, Ogun State, she remained active in the industry for years and earned admiration for her resilience during her public health battle.

Tributes have continued to pour in from colleagues and fans, who have remembered Osoba for her strength, talent and contribution to the Nigerian film industry.
