Popular Fuji musician, Saheed Okunola, better known as Saheed Osupa, has sparked controversy after openly declaring that he uses ‘juju’, otherwise known as voodoo, to improve his life and attain stardom.
Osupa made the remark while performing on stage at the 52nd birthday celebration of veteran actor Fatai Odua, popularly known as Lalude, on March 30, 2026.
In a now-viral video that resurfaced online, the Fuji singer was seen addressing his backup singers after they appeared to struggle to keep up with his delivery during the live performance.
Osupa questioned what alternative means he should have used to attain success if not voodoo.
“If I don’t engage in voodoo, what else should I have employed? Is it Phensic or Panadol that will make me successful?” he asked.
While joking with them on stage, he advised them to embrace ‘juju’ as a way to sharpen their memory and improve their performance, stressing that doing so won’t necessarily make them fetish, but could serve as a means of personal advancement and well-being.
