Veteran Fuji musician Saheed Osupa has expressed gratitude to Grammy award-winning Afrobeats star Burna Boy, after being named among his Greatest of All Time (GOAT) musicians.
Burna Boy made the revelation during a recent conversation with tennis legend Roger Federer, where he described Osupa as one of his “GOAT singers.”
Reacting on Thursday via his official X handle, Osupa said the recognition was not only an honour to him personally but also a celebration of Fuji music on the global stage.
“This acknowledgement is a monumental moment that celebrates the soul of Fuji music and its timeless influence. It not only uplifts my journey but also shines a brilliant light on our rich cultural heritage, bridging generations and genres worldwide,” he wrote.
The Fuji maestro went on to thank Burna Boy for the tribute, adding that he looks forward to attending one of the Afrobeats star’s upcoming concerts.
In the same interview, Burna Boy also listed late rap legends 2Pac, Notorious B.I.G., Big Pun, as well as UK rapper J Hus, among his greatest rappers of all time.
