it was gathered that Osupa, who charges between N1million and N800,000 per engagement, has recruited some new band members, largely from Igbo Ora and some parts Oyo State to work with him early this week, and they have been undergoing rigorous rehearsals to be able to cover any lapses.
According to one of the band members who spoke to E24-7 MAGAZINE on the condition of anonymity, they are finding it difficult to cater for their families as a result of the poor funds. In his words, “Many of us are family members, but Osupa doesn’t want to know how we take care of ourselves. How does he expect 26 grown men to divide N100,000 per show, yet the money is not even regular. We have been surviving with the help of fans and friends to meet up with our responsibilities to our families. We think we have had enough and it’s high time everybody is told what we have been going through over two decades and a half in Saheed Osupa’s band.
He continued, “Osupa was even paying N150,000 before, but after a while, he sent two of his managers Ifawole (Oracle) and Balo to tell us that he couldn’t continue with that, and he reduced the dues to N100,000. After several arguments, we agreed to continue and play, but you can imagine our shock when the fee promised was not even regular.”
All efforts to reach Saheed Osupa to respond to the various allegations by our correspondents were futile as his mobile phone was switched off.
