In a recent video shared on his TikTok page, popular Yoruba media personality, Kola Olootu, has called out Nigerian fuji musician, Saheed Osupa, for allegedly neglecting him despite his significant contributions to Osupa’s music career.
Olootu claims that he orchestrated the event that propelled Osupa into the limelight, ultimately crowning him as the ‘fuji king.’ He reveals that he worked alongside the late Fuji maestro, Sikiru Ayinde Balogun, also known as Barrister, in this endeavor.
Expressing his frustration, Olootu reveals that after Osupa achieved fame and amassed wealth, he forgot about their past collaborations and even became an enemy to him.
He said, “We planned it together at my house in Oluyole after Saheed informed me that Baba (Barrister) was coming for his birthday show.
I told him to arrange for a crown before Baba arrives and leave the rest of the job to me. When we gave the crown to Baba, he was taken aback and could only exclaim that they had put him in trouble.
“Saheed became popular and made a lot of money after this coronation, he was everywhere, but I, who orchestrated the act, became enemies with everyone.
My intentions were good, and I love Saheed. Today, he gives people things everywhere, but he never remembers me, who suffered with him when he had nothing.”
