Legendary Nigerian Juju singer, King Sunny Ade (KSA), has put swirling rumours about his well-being to rest after a video surfaced online showing him performing energetically at a social function.
The Grammy-nominated music icon was captured in high spirits on Thursday, May 1, 2025, as he thrilled guests at a burial ceremony in Akure, Ondo State.
At 77 years old, the legendary Juju musician, King Sunny Ade, once again captivated his audience, performing one of his iconic Yoruba classics. Dressed in a sharp blue suit and backed by his talented band, he showed no signs of slowing down, delivering an energetic and graceful performance that left fans thrilled.
This memorable performance comes just days after a social media post by a woman, claiming to be one of KSA’s daughters, sparked widespread concern. The post alleged that the music icon had gone missing and was being “adopted” by unknown individuals. The unsettling claim quickly went viral, causing alarm among fans and industry professionals alike.
However, KSA’s media team responded promptly, reassuring the public that the musician was safe, healthy, and not in any danger. Despite this, the online worry lingered—until this recent viral performance video surfaced, bringing relief and joy to his supporters.
Fans across social media expressed their delight at seeing the living legend in action, calling the performance “reassuring” and praising KSA for maintaining his poise and vitality, even at his age.
