• Fuji stars Obesere and Malaika were the guest artistes at the event as they took to the stage to thrill fans

The 2025 Olojo Festival, hosted by the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, took place on Saturday, September 27, at the Ojaja Arena in Ile-Ife, Osun state.

Legit.ng recalls reporting that the Ooni announced his emergence from a seven-day seclusion as part of the Olojo Festival in Ile-Ife, Osun state.

In a post, the Yoruba monarch said he had spent the period in communion with God and ancestral spirits, praying for peace, prosperity, and unity in Nigeria, Africa, and for the children of Oduduwa across the world.

The Olojo Festival, an old Yoruba tradition, features the monarch’s annual retreat, during which the Ooni withdraws from public life to intercede on behalf of his people.

However, Obesere's performance appeared to have gained more attention on social media as netizens shared their observations about his attire and songs.

This once again put the Fuji genre in the spotlight as it comes barely hours after Taye Currency's performance at Oba Rashidi Ladoja's coronation.
