Fuji music Saheed Osupa has fired back at a cleric who claimed he would die on January 10, calling the prophecy false and baseless.
The controversy started after Muslim cleric Waraqi Olopameta posted a video saying he had received a divine message that Osupa would die on that date. The cleric suggested the singer could avoid the fate through a ritual involving a ram. The claim sparked outrage on social media, with many condemning it and questioning the cleric’s motives.
Responding publicly, Osupa rejected the prophecy and warned against wishing death on anyone. He said:
“Fake Alfa and prophet please don’t wish me dead. Everyone who wishes me dead will die in my place.
“Close enemies, unknown enemies, enemies of my career and the ones in my neighborhood, better don’t wish me dead, or you would die before me.”
Osupa also urged religious leaders and content creators not to use entertainers’ lives for attention and called on the public to ignore baseless prophecies.
Following backlash, Olopameta later retracted his claim, admitting the prophecy was false. He apologised publicly and promised not to repeat such statements.
