I genuinely don't understand why Akorede Okunola Saheed, popularly known as Osupa, initiated another conflict in the Fuji music scene. While the feud between Taiye Currency and Alabi Pasuma was the initial spark that was eventually extinguished by the acclaimed peacemaker Mayegun himself, Osupa's deliberate targeting of K1 has now become the focal point of discussion among Fuji enthusiasts and practitioners.
Rumor has it that Osupa's latest tirade against K1 stems from K1 referring to himself as the owner of Fuji music. Now, I'm wondering, how could that statement ignite such a feud if not due to bad blood? Is Osupa just waking up from slumber to hear what K1 has been saying for so long? How has that affected a genre with many practitioners holding various titles? I can't help but wonder why Osupa decided to attack someone with whom he spent over five hours negotiating peace.
If Osupa believes that K1 was wrong to call himself the owner of Fuji music, why is no one questioning Osupa's claim to be the king of music, especially when legends like KSA (King Sunny Ade), Ebenezer Obey, Kollington Ayinla, Sir Shina Peters, and many other seasoned veteran musicians are still alive and active?
It's disheartening that those who choose to throw stones often forget about the glass in their own backyard. I have nothing against anyone in Fuji land who wants to be known and addressed as something, what I don't like is the unnecessary contest that comes with it.
From what I've observed over the years, the belief that Osupa is a gifted lyricist and musician has not in any way translated into financial success for him. The only time his supposed fans translate his 'gift' into success is when he decides to take on another Fuji act in a contest which does not define true love for his art.

I thought they have settled all these their rogbodiyan because i've seen pictures/videos of some of them in the same ankara outfits at the same events hugging themselves. The people/person that started Fuji are/is no more . Why fight for so long? 😙

ReplyDeleteThis is a biased write up. I cant say categorically if you were paid for this mischievous write up but if after 25 years of entertainment journalism all you can come up with is this, you need to check yourself and find an alternative means of relevance .
Journalist are usually not empty headed , they go into research and come up with facts and not rumours. who told you K1 made peace between Taiye and Paso ? Have you seen the vid where Paso was postrating on K1 kitchen floor while K1 arrogantly remain unmoved as if Paso is a small boy? Did you see the Vid of Taiye giving K1 money in the same kitchen for a job well done ? K1 will not take it if he is disrespected but he loves disrespecting the upcoming ones. He demands respects but gives non.
As a jornalist you seem to be spending too much time with rumours mongers instead of research. Osupa tirade against K1 is not because of title. it is because K1 is trying to rewrite history and make himself an emperor of some sought while belittling those before him notably Kollinton Ayinla. You talk about bad blood, which bad blood ? from who to who ? Osupa spent 5hours for peace with who , where ?please stop spreading rumours abeg . Osupa does not even regard K1 as king of Fuji when SAB was alive . Unlike K1, Mr. FUJI (SAB) himself crowned Osupa. Comparing Juju music and fuji music is a digression of the topic and titles and I wont go that path with you .
Mr Jornalist Kunle Rascheed , you are a joker . Osupa is clearly gifted lyrically even K1trembles at Osupa prowress in music and lyrics. Osupa has proven overtime that he is the king of music and you can take that to the bank. With Osupa , it is not a belive but a conviction especially with us his loyal fans.Talking about trowing stones and glass, you should take a look at yourself in the mirror and ask , after 25yrs of journalisim how financially successful am I as a journalist? Osupa music gives hope to those in the market selling pepper, the bus conductor and the mechanics .From their widows mite they buy his CD and patronise his shows same cant be said of K1. He relies solely in APC and its yahoo customers.
K1 is a music equipment packer and he will always be. He packs the drums when SAB is done playing shows and he will always be a packer , all the titles in the world cant make him any diffrent. He is the 'igi Woroko' in the fuji blazing world and Osupa on the other hand will always outshone him. K1 is proud , greedy , selfish and he has no virtue the younger generation can emulate ....Make I no talk too much .
I totally agree with you about Osupa being lyrically good, I always listen to his music while growing up.
DeleteBTW, I disagree with your assertion below, Paso is not an upcoming artiste
'Have you seen the vid where Paso was postrating on K1 kitchen floor while K1 arrogantly remain unmoved as if Paso is a small boy?

Obviously, the writer too know little about Yoruba music. The likes of Sunny Ade, Ebenezer, Shina Peters are not Fuji musicians but Juju.
ReplyDeleteReading to comprehend is difficult for some people, the writer never said the likes of Sunny Ade, Ebenezer, Shina Peters are Fuji musicians, you are the one that actually said that. What the writer said was "Why is no one questioning Osupa's claim to be the king of music, especially when legends like KSA (King Sunny Ade), Ebenezer Obey, Kollington Ayinla, Sir Shina Peters, and many other seasoned veteran musicians are still alive and active?"
DeleteThey will be alright. They have eaten and they are satisfied and full. What's left again?
ReplyDeleteK1 calling himself king is a slap to the other veterans. Kollington Ayilla,Barrister nkon? 🙄🙄🙄
ReplyDeleteAnd to think they are all grandpa's now.
ReplyDeleteAll na script
ReplyDeleteI don't listen to Fuji music
ReplyDeleteIt is wrong for K1 to say he's the owner of fuji, where will he place late Alhaji Sikiru ayinde barrister? Or General Kollington Ayinla? Make all of them go sit down.
ReplyDeleteProblem e no dey finish
ReplyDeleteForget those stories all na script abeg
