It came as a rude shock earlier this
week when news filtered on the social media that veteran juju artiste,
King Sunny Ade, had died.
But in a chat with Saturday Beats on
Wednesday, KSA as he is popularly called, denied being ill or being
admitted to the hospital. He said he wouldn’t know why anyone would go
to town that he had passed on.
“If I were in a hospital, I would say
so. There wouldn’t have been any reason for me to lie. In fact, the
hospital would also see me as a liar if I lied that I wasn’t admitted or
sick. But the truth is that I have not been sick. I am hale and
hearty,” he said.
KSA said he wouldn’t know where the story was coming from or who could have thought of going to town with such rumours.
“Don’t mind them. But they can’t kill
me. God will not allow anything to happen to me. I performed at Tunji
Braithwaite’s burial on Saturday night and I wasn’t ill. I am just
coming from Oba Awujale’s palace in Ijebu Ode as you are talking to me. I
am very healthy.
“I am not on Facebook, so I didn’t even
read the story. It was friends that called me to tell me about what they
read. I still pray for those who started the rumour. I don’t look for
enemies and I don’t have any enemy,” he said.
Meanwhile, the veteran artiste said all is set for his radio station to take off soon.
“Everything is in place, very soon, we will kick off transmission. The launch date will soon be announced,” he said.
