Veteran Fuji musician Saheed Osupa has publicly dismissed a prophecy predicting his death, describing it as false and malicious.

The reaction followed a claim by a controversial Muslim cleric, popularly known as Alpha Olopa Meta, who had alleged that the singer would die on January 10, 2026. The cleric also said he had prayed for Osupa and advised him to buy a ram for special prayers.

Osupa responded to the claim during a live performance on Sunday, January 11, 2026, a day after the date mentioned in the prophecy.

“Fake Alpha and prophet, please don’t wish me dead. Everyone who wishes me dead will die in my place,” the singer told his audience.

He warned those he described as enemies, including close associates and rivals, against harboring ill intentions toward him. “Close enemies, unknown enemies, enemies of my career and those in my neighborhood should not wish me dead, or they will die before me,” he added.

The musician’s remarks drew loud reactions from fans at the event, with many interpreting his response as a rejection of what he views as fear-mongering.

The incident has sparked renewed debate on social media over the role of religious figures in making public prophecies about the lives of public personalities.
