Legendary Juju musician King Sunny Ade has denied what he terms rumours of his kidnap which was widely reported today.
The music icon made this known in a live video shared by one of his wives, Mrs. Bose Olubo-Adegeye,
The legendary musician assured his fans and the public that he is alive and well, expressing gratitude for their concern and support.
“Nobody kidnapped me. I pray, as I don’t want anybody to kidnap me. I believe that the whole world is in love with me. This is me, King Sunny Ade. I have to thank God and you, my fans, for the concern. I have been doing my shows. I was at a show last Saturday at Lekki, Lagos. I am on my way to have a show, and I am coming back again to play in Lagos, as well. So, I have nothing to say other than to thank God and to thank you,” KSA said.
The singer also appreciated Nigerians and fans worldwide for their concern, noting that the confusion might have stemmed from some of his children not seeing him recently.
“I know my children are in love with me, and they want to see me. I didn’t go anywhere. This is me. I thank the children, too, for their concern as well.
“By God’s grace, enjoyment continues. I am still in music. Music is my life; it is my business, and I will continue to do it. I thank the whole world for loving me as usual,” he added.
One of the musician’s children, Damilola Esther Adeniyi-Adegeye, had on Monday, raised the alarm over her father’s whereabouts, accusing her stepbrother, Dayo, whom she described as KSA’s manager, of allegedly holding the veteran singer hostage and mismanaging his affairs.
But King Sunny Ade said, “I am alive, well and grateful for the love and support of my Fans, thanks for your concern.”
