Popular Fuji singer, Saheed Osupa, has in an interview with Naijaloaded, spoken on his journey as a student of the University of Ibadan.

According to him, his family didn’t believe when he said he wanted to go to school. Noting that his education is important to him, he stated that he has had to cancel shows. She even refunded money when that clashed with his studies, he said.

Revealing that he got no preferential treatment as a celebrity, he noted that he attended lectures and wroe exams himself.

Excerpts below;

They thought it was a joke. Even my first born who just finished studying at the University of Ilorin called me on my matriculation day, which, coincidentally, was also his convocation day. He jokingly said, “Remember the son of whom you are’, which was what I told him when he first gained admission.”

I enrolled as a regular student. Therefore, I attend classes and sit for exams by myself. I am not even given celebrity treatment when my shows abroad clash with my school’s timetable. I’ve had to refund some money for shows just because they clashed with my classes. I want my education to reflect in my lifestyle.

On his recent ‘hip-fuji’ album, the singer said he adopted the style of the present music trend in Nigeria.

The way hip-hop artists have been moving, I see this as a wheel of change and I have to keep moving with the trend. I want to prove to people that I am dynamic and can do any kind of music.
