Popular Nigerian Fuji musician Saheed Osupa has sparked widespread reactions online after openly admitting to using traditional spiritual practices, commonly referred to as “juju,” to achieve success in his career.
The revelation, which surfaced in a trending video, has generated intense debate across social media, with many Nigerians expressing mixed reactions to his candid remarks.
Osupa made the statement while performing at the 62nd birthday celebration of veteran Nollywood actor Fatai Odua, popularly known as Lalude, on March 30, 2026. In the now-viral clip, the Fuji star was seen addressing his backup singers, who appeared to be struggling to keep up with his performance, jokingly advising them to seek spiritual help to improve their memory and delivery.
Speaking further, the singer revealed that he had previously been advised to deny engaging in such practices but chose to be open about it.
“Somebody told me one time to grant an interview, denying that I’m a fetish person, but I told him that I am, and why should I deny it. I didn’t kill anyone with my juju or commit evil with it. I am only looking for how to progress. Nothing more,” he said.
He also disclosed that he pays regular homage to Ifa as part of his personal beliefs.
In a humorous tone, Osupa questioned alternative paths to success, saying:
“If I don’t engage in voodoo, what else should I have employed. Is it Phensic or Panadol that will make me successful? It is not good to be poor and still not live a good life. Even if one is not enormously rich but should enjoy comfort.”
The Fuji star went further to claim that many people engage in similar practices but prefer to keep it private.
“Everybody practises voodoo. While some hide behind the scenes to do theirs, I do mine in the open. All those talks of mine that I rely solely on the Bible and the Quran are pure lies,” he added.
