King Sunny Ade is Alive

Contrary to rumours floating on the internet that music legend King Sunny Ade is dead, The Nation can authoritatively confirm that the famed juju maestro is alive and well.

On Wednesday, KSA as he is fondly called by his fans was in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State to pay a visit to the Awujale of Ijebuland Oba Sikiru Adetona at his palace. The musician’s manager, Clement Ige, who had earlier dismissed the rumour made a picture of KSA’s visit to the traditional leader available.
On Monday, news of the juju musician’s death rented the internet.


KSA who was nominated for a Grammy award in 1987 turns 70 on September 22, 2016.

On Sunday, April 24, he was honoured with a Silverbird Lifetime Entertainment Award alongside Victor Uwaifo and film maker Eddie Ugboma.
