Veteran Fuji musician Saheed Osupa has broken his silence over a controversial prophecy that predicted his death, firmly dismissing the claim during a live performance.
The reaction followed statements by a Nigerian Muslim cleric, popularly known as Alpha Olopa Meta, who had alleged that Osupa would die on January 10, 2026. The cleric also claimed he had intervened spiritually on the singer’s behalf and advised him to perform prayers involving the purchase of a ram.
Osupa addressed the issue publicly on Sunday, January 11, 2026, while performing before a live audience. Speaking directly, the Fuji icon rejected the prophecy and warned against wishing death on others.
In his remarks, Osupa described the cleric’s statement as false and cautioned both known and unknown adversaries against harboring ill intentions toward him. He stressed that anyone hoping for his death would face the consequences of such wishes themselves.
The outspoken response drew attention across social media, with fans praising the singer for confronting the issue openly and confidently.
Saheed Osupa remains one of the most influential figures in Fuji music, with a career spanning decades and a loyal fan base across Nigeria and beyond. The incident adds to ongoing debates around religious prophecies, celebrity influence, and public accountability in Nigeria’s entertainment and faith spaces.
