"I am back. When I was not around, something happened, but I am back," Osupa said while speaking in Yoruba in the video.
The reason behind Osupa's performance
Recall that Ladoja, a former governor and senator, had his coronation on Friday, September 26, with top dignitaries in the country, including President Bola Tinubu and Governor Seyi Makinde, in attendance.
The highlight, however, was Fuji singer Taye Currency's performance, as he came under massive criticism on and off social media over his song lyrics at Oba Ladoja's coronation. This led to some fans querying the reason behind Osupa's absence at the event.
Days after the event, Legit.ng reported that Osupa also composed a song for the Olubadan, with deep lyrics that saw some of his fans and supporters clamoring for a second coronation.
The video of Osupa speaking about his performance at Oba Rashidi Ladoja's appreciation night party is below:
