Fuji Star, King Saheed Osupa Raises the Bar at Friends of Osupa Exclusive White Agbada Party, Rewards Nollywood Icons With ₦2.1 Million Each
– Alhaji Arems ( Baba Fuji)
Fuji music icon Saheed Osupa once again turned Christmas Day into a moment of culture, celebration, and legacy as he hosted the 2025 edition of the Friends of Osupa Exclusive White Agbada Party, solidifying the event’s place as one of the most meaningful end-of-year gatherings in the Yoruba entertainment space.
Held on December 25, 2025, in Lagos, the event marked a significant step up from its debut edition, not just in scale and spectacle, but in the depth of appreciation shown to the veterans of Yoruba Nollywood who were honoured on the night.
A Grand Entrance to Match the Moment :
One of the most talked-about moments of the evening was Saheed Osupa’s dramatic arrival. In a carefully choreographed entrance, the Fuji maestro emerged in a luxury vehicle that rose from an underground platform directly onto the stage, drawing thunderous applause from guests and setting the tone for a night that blended showmanship with reverence.
The moment symbolised what the event has come to represent — respect for legacy, delivered with grandeur.
₦2.1 Million Each : A Powerful Statement of Appreciation
In a major highlight of the night, Saheed Osupa announced a significant increase in the cash gifts awarded to honourees. Unlike the previous year, where recipients received ₦500,000 each, every awardee at the 2025 edition was gifted ₦2.1 million, underscoring Osupa’s growing commitment to recognising the sacrifices and contributions of industry veterans.
Those honoured at this year’s edition were carefully selected figures whose careers have helped shape Yoruba cinema across decades.
