Fuji Star, King Saheed Osupa’s Fuji Music Camp Ignites With Momentum

2 July 2025 — Yesterday marked a pivotal step in the evolution of the Fuji Music Camp, the groundbreaking mentorship initiative launched by King (Dr.) Saheed Osupa. The gathering brought together Osupa, top industry producers, seasoned songwriters and composers, alongside Alhaji Arems

Arem Entertainment—now serving as official media consultant and coordinator.

Originally introduced in mid‑June as a strategic effort to mentor emerging Fuji talents across classical and modern sub-genres, the Fuji Music Camp’s inaugural meeting formally launched its first cohort. The goal is clear: uncover new voices who echo the essence of Saheed Osupa, Pasuma Wonder, Wasiu Ayinde, and other Fuji luminaries, ensuring the genre’s continued cultural relevance.

It is important to clarify that this is not an event — it is a long-term initiative. And notably, it is a fully self-sponsored project by Saheed Osupa himself. He is solely responsible for financing the camp, paying everyone involved — producers, composers, songwriters — directly from his own pocket. No one is being charged to participate in any form. This is Osupa’s personal investment into the future of Fuji music.

What Happened :

Mentorship Line-up Takes Shape :

A team of veteran producers, composers, and songwriters has been engaged. Their task: deliver expert guidance on vocal techniques, songwriting, and recording — from single production to polished albums.

Professional Recording & Distribution Path :

Talents discovered through the camp will gain direct access to professional recording facilities and distribution channels through Sony Music Publishing West Africa. Sony’s recent re-engagement with Fuji artists, including Osupa, reflects a growing recognition of the genre’s global potential.

Arems Entertainment Steps In :

With Arems Entertainment on board as media consultant and coordinator, the initiative has a solid structure for visibility, strategy, and project execution.

Personal Advice From Osupa :

During the meeting, KSO expressed his appreciation to everyone in attendance, offered prayers for continued support and success, and shared thoughtful advice. Notably, he encouraged the producers, composers, and songwriters involved to consider establishing their own personal studios — a move he believes would help secure their long-term creative and professional independence.

How Talents Will Be Discovered :

Unlike typical open-call auditions, the Fuji Music Camp will operate through a talent screening and selection process. Discovery will focus on social media platforms — Facebook, Instagram, TikTok — with scouts, producers, and Osupa’s team actively monitoring talents who show potential in the Fuji space.

Once promising individuals are identified, the internal team of producers, composers, and songwriters will screen them further to determine fit. If approved, they’ll be contacted directly, invited to participate, and grouped into a suitable batch for mentorship. This process will take place on a quarterly basis, ensuring consistent intake and grooming.

Additionally, if any of the producers or songwriters already have their eyes on certain individuals — perhaps talents they’ve worked with or spotted offline — those artists may also be nominated for consideration.

It’s worth reiterating: no fee is required from the selected talents. This initiative remains fully funded by Oba Orin Osupa, whose vision is to give genuine talent an opportunity — not to profit from their dreams.

A Chance To Meet Their Mentors :

One standout feature of the Fuji Music Camp is that it provides selected participants with an opportunity to meet the Fuji legends they admire. Whether they sing in the style of Pasuma, K1 De Ultimate, Osupa himself, or others, these artists will have a chance to engage one-on-one with their idols. It’s a rare and valuable moment for rising talents to connect with their mentors in a meaningful, personal setting — something Osupa believes will help them grow both musically and mentally.

Spotlight : A Movement, Not Just A Program

The 2 July gathering marks more than program logistics — it signals real action. With producers and songwriters onboard, Sony Music distribution promised, and Arems Entertainment coordinating, Osupa’s vision is no longer just a proposal. The Fuji Music Camp is now a functioning system of talent discovery, mentorship, and development.

Backed by one of Fuji’s most respected voices and structured to run for five years, this initiative stands as one of the most focused, intentional investments ever made in the genre’s future. Osupa is not just building a camp; he is creating a movement to preserve, elevate, and pass on Fuji music — one hand-picked talent at a time.

Stay tuned. The Fuji renaissance has begun — and the torch is being passed.

Tears and Tiaras: Family Holds Pink-Themed Funeral for Beloved Dog, Sparks Viral Frenzy

In a heartwarming yet controversial tribute, a family held a lavish pink-themed funeral for their beloved canine companion, sending shockwaves across social media.

The emotional ceremony—complete with framed photos, bouquets of fresh flowers, and tearful eulogies—was a touching farewell to a dog that had been more than a pet; it was family.

In a now-viral video, mourners—both human and canine—gathered in solemn unity as the small pink casket lay at the center of the room. Guests brought their own dogs to “pay last respects,” adding to the surreal atmosphere of love, grief, and luxury.

The event has since sparked a wave of mixed reactions online.

One user, @OloriOfOloris, criticized the display:

“This is what happens when you don’t have what to do with money.”

But another, @Divinefcb, offered a different take:

“This is what happens when the government is too good and you have money.”

While some called it extravagant, others defended the family’s right to mourn their pet however they chose, pointing out that for many, pets are more loyal than people.

The viral funeral has reignited conversations about how society views grief, class, and the lengths people go to honor loved ones—furry or not.

Ajadi Mourns Olubadan, Describes Monarch as Symbol of Peace and Unity

A South-West chieftain of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, has expressed deep sorrow over the passing of the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin, describing the late monarch as a symbol of peace, wisdom, and cultural pride.

Oba Olakulehin died in the early hours of Monday at the age of 90, during ongoing celebrations marking both his 90th birthday and first anniversary on the throne.

In a statement made available to newsmen on Monday, Ajadi said the revered traditional ruler left behind a legacy of purposeful leadership and selfless service to the people of Ibadan and the Yoruba race.

“It is with a heavy heart and profound sense of loss that I join the good people of Ibadanland, Oyo State, and indeed the entire Yoruba nation, in mourning the passing of our revered monarch,” Ajadi stated.

According to him, though Oba Olakulehin’s reign was relatively brief, it was marked by wisdom, unity, and cultural revitalization.

“Oba Olakulehin embodied the essence of royalty – calm, deliberate, and fatherly in all his dealings. He led by example and inspired many with his wealth of experience and dedication to the progress of Ibadanland,” he added.

Ajadi noted that the monarch’s death during his milestone celebrations was both symbolic and painful, emphasizing the fleeting nature of life and the enduring impact of a life well spent.

He extended his condolences to the Olubadan-in-Council, the people of Ibadanland, and the entire Oyo State traditional institution, praying for comfort and strength for all who mourn.

“May the soul of our departed monarch rest in perfect peace. And may the Almighty comfort all who mourn his passing, and guide the leadership of Ibadanland as we navigate this moment of collective grief,” he said.

Ajadi also called on traditional and political leaders to uphold the late monarch’s legacy of peace and unity as the process of succession begins.
