In a dramatic reversal, a popular Islamic cleric has publicly retracted a shocking prophecy that claimed Fuji music icon, Saheed Osupa, would die on a specific date. The cleric, known as Al-Waraqi Olopa Meta, has now confessed that the alarming prediction was a fabricated strategy, not a divine revelation.
The Controversial Prophecy and Its Conditions
The controversy began when Al-Waraqi Olopa Meta declared that God had revealed to him that Saheed Osupa would die on January 10, 2026. To add weight to his claim, the cleric insisted he had sworn by the Holy Qur'an and his own life on the prophecy's authenticity. The statement, which spread rapidly online, caused significant distress among the Fuji star's fans and the wider public.
Further stirring the pot, Olopa Meta stated that the grim fate could be averted, but only under a specific condition. He claimed that Saheed Osupa needed to provide a white ram for sacrifice and engage in intense prayers where the cleric's own name would be mentioned.
The Leaked Audio and Startling Confession
The narrative took a decisive turn when an audio recording of a phone conversation between Olopa Meta and another cleric, Sheikh Dr Ahmad Ishola Olanrewaju Al-Fulan, surfaced online. In the viral audio, Sheikh Al-Fulan confronted Olopa Meta, questioning the basis of his prophecy.
Under this pressure, Olopa Meta backtracked completely. He admitted that the declaration about Osupa's death was not a genuine vision from God. Instead, he confessed that it was merely a tactical move designed to capture the attention of the famous musician. This revelation transformed the incident from a spiritual warning into a calculated publicity stunt.
Public Outrage and Social Media Reactions
The cleric's initial prophecy and subsequent apology have sparked widespread outrage across social media platforms. Nigerians have expressed their anger and disappointment, criticizing the act as reckless and emotionally damaging.
Here are some of the reactions compiled from social media:
- @Havie_24 commented: "I remember how Osupa dealt with Portable. I'm sure this guy contacted Alfulany to help him out."
- @Akabsa5 stated: "Because this was the same thing people he met as Alfa and co are doing too... They all lie to people a lot."
- @Internet_guruu shared a more severe view: "See the Werey face self, make them arrest am make he taste kirikiri beans he go learn..."
- @nawebawaownprob expressed concern for the artist: "I no wan lose my favorite for fuji music oo."
As of now, Saheed Osupa and his management team have not issued an official response to the prophecy or the cleric's subsequent apology. The music icon was recently seen alongside fellow Fuji legend, Pasuma, at the 15th-year remembrance of late Fuji pioneer, Ayinde Barrister, showcasing a moment of unity.
