A controversial Islamic cleric known as Olopameta has ignited a firestorm of reactions across Nigerian social media after releasing a video containing a dire prophecy concerning the life of legendary Fuji musician, King Saheed Osupa.
The Alarming Prophecy and Its Conditions
In the widely circulated video, Olopameta made a specific and troubling claim: Saheed Osupa would die on January 10, 2026. The cleric asserted with strong conviction that the popular singer would not live beyond that date. To bolster his claim, Olopameta stated the revelation was divinely inspired, even swearing by the Qur'an and his own life on its authenticity.
Despite the grim forecast, the cleric mentioned he has taken personal steps to pray against this outcome, citing a deep affection for the musician. However, he presented a conditional solution to potentially avert the prophecy. According to Olopameta, Saheed Osupa must perform a religious sacrifice involving a white ram and engage in intense prayers, during which the cleric's name should be invoked.
Public and Fan Reactions Pour In
The prophecy has triggered a wave of mixed responses online, dividing netizens between concern, skepticism, and outright dismissal. As of the time of reporting, the 57-year-old Fuji star has not issued any public statement addressing the cleric's claims, leaving the matter open to intense public speculation and debate.
Social media commentary reflects the controversy. One user, Taiye Adeleye, sarcastically noted, "Islam is a religion of peace. This is the kind of peace Islam brought to us." Another, Habeeb Adeyemi, questioned the cleric's sanity, writing in pidgin, "This one don mad na... werey wan trend ni."
Yahya Babatunde Habeebullah criticized the prophecy's structure, implying the cleric created a problem only he could solve: "He tie the matter nd also untie it immediately. If osupa no die by 10th, he wil now be saying shebi he has given a solution for him not to die."
Context and Recent Sightings of the Fuji Icon
This disturbing prophecy emerges against the backdrop of Saheed Osupa's recent public appearances. He was notably present, alongside fellow Fuji star Pasuma, at the 15th-year remembrance ceremony for Fuji pioneer, the late Dr. Sikiru Ayinde Barrister.
Videos from the event, which showed a warm exchange between Osupa and Pasuma—once perceived as rivals—had previously captivated fans, highlighting the enduring camaraderie within the Fuji music community. The stark contrast between that celebration of legacy and the current ominous prediction has further fueled the online discourse.
With January 10, 2026, now marked in the consciousness of many fans, the nation watches to see how this unsettling narrative will unfold, and whether the acclaimed musician will break his silence on the matter.
