“My GOAT singers are mostly like Fuji artists. Like Saheed Osupa.” The comment quickly went viral, igniting excitement among Fuji music enthusiasts and sparking renewed appreciation for Osupa’s enduring influence in Nigerian music.
Responding to the recognition, Osupa took to X with an emotional post, describing Burna Boy’s words as a milestone for both his personal career and the Fuji genre.
“Burna Boy’s heartfelt tribute, naming me as his GOAT singer on a global stage, is a monumental moment that celebrates the soul of Fuji music and its timeless influence. This honour not only uplifts my journey but also shines a brilliant light on our rich cultural heritage, bridging generations and genres worldwide,” Osupa wrote.
Saheed Osupa also expressed admiration for Burna Boy, adding that he hopes to attend one of the Afro-fusion star’s concerts as a way of reciprocating the gesture.
“I am profoundly grateful for this powerful acknowledgment from a true Afropop titan, the African Giant himself, of whom I am also a great fan. Together, we are redefining African music legacy and inspiring the world with authentic, vibrant sounds.”
The moment marks a rare crossover between Fuji and Afrofusion, showcasing Burna Boy’s global platform as a bridge for celebrating Nigeria’s diverse musical heritage.
