Legendary Fuji musician Saheed Osupa has responded to a prophecy made by Nigerian cleric Alpha Olopa Meta, who claimed that the singer would die on January 10, 2026. According to reports, the cleric had stated that he had intervened on Osupa’s behalf, begging God to spare his life, and had advised the singer to purchase a big ram for prayers.
During a live performance on January 11, 2026, Osupa addressed the prophecy, stating, “Fake Alpha and prophet, please don’t wish me dead. Everyone who wishes me dead will die in my place.” He further cautioned those who might be wishing him harm, saying, “Close enemies, unknown enemies, enemies of my career, and those in my neighborhood, better don’t wish me dead, or you would die before me.”
The prophecy and Osupa’s response have drawn attention to the Nigerian music scene, where prophecies and clerics’ statements often garner significant public interest. Saheed Osupa is a renowned Fuji musician with a large following in Nigeria and beyond. His reaction to the prophecy suggests that he is not taking the cleric’s claim lightly and is instead using the opportunity to address his fans and detractors alike.
In Nigeria, prophecies by clerics are not uncommon, and they often spark public debate and discussion. While some people take these prophecies seriously, others view them with skepticism. In this case, Osupa’s response has added a new layer to the conversation, with the singer essentially pushing back against the notion that his life is in danger.
As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how Osupa’s fans and the broader public will respond to the prophecy and the singer’s reaction. One thing is certain, however: the exchange has brought attention to the complex and often contentious relationship between religious leaders, public figures, and their followers in Nigeria. With Osupa’s strong response, the singer has made it clear that he will not be intimidated by the prophecy, and his fans will likely be watching the situation closely in the coming days.
