Osupa Rejects Advice to Deny Supernatural Practices Publicly

Speaking further, Osupa revealed that he had once been advised to publicly deny engaging in supernatural practices but declined the suggestion.

“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.

Osupa Reveals Regular Ifa Homage Fuels His Enduring Success

This disclosure underscores Ifa’s vital role in Osupa’s life, blending mysticism with music in Nigeria’s cultural landscape and captivating fans nationwide.

“That’s why anytime I wake, I always pay obeisance to my Ifa. I don’t know the deity beyond it, because it is worth paying homage to,” he said.

He added humorously, “If I don’t engage in voodoo, what else should I have employed? Is it Phensic or Panadol that will make me successful?”

Osupa: Many Secretly Engage in Similar Spiritual Practices

Osupa further argued that many people engage in similar practices, though some do so privately.

“Everybody practises voodoo. While some hide behind the scenes to do theirs, I do mine in the open.

All those talks that I rely solely on the Bible and the Quran are pure lies,” he said.
