Saheed Akorede Okunola, best known as King Saheed Osupa, the Nigerian Fuji musician,
performer and film actor, was spotted at the International
Conference Centre of the University of Ibadan. The veteran singer was spotted at the school’s matriculation held yesterday, June the 14th, 2016. He is to study political Science at the University of Ibadan.
The Matriculation Ceremony of 2015/16 admitted students on Open and Distance Learning Platform.
The controversial Fuji artiste recently
revealed he turned down the US Marine to
pursue a career in Fuji music in Nigeria.
During an interview, Osupa disclosed that
he not only ditched the joboffer but also a
$100K pay with a house just to pursue his
music career.
“I went for the exams and they were highly
impressed,” he began. “So, they said they
would put me in the nuclear section and
they gave me $100,000.”
Continuing, Osupa said, “They also offered
me a house with a zero down payment. The
offer was so likeable but I had a re-think
about it and decided it was not what I
wanted. I wasn’t sure I wouldn’t regret the
decision in the future.
I left Chicago and went to New York and eventually I came back home to do my music. I do not regret the decision today,”
Saheed Osupa started music professionally
as a teenager in 1983. His rise to stardom
came when his first album titled Fuji Fa
Disco which was released through Alasco
Films and Records was positively received
among Fuji music lovers.
