King Sunny Ade is safe, manager debunks rumour of Juju legend’s kidnap
By Jeffrey Agbo
A family feud has erupted among the children of legendary juju icon, Sunday Adegeye, popularly known as King Sunny Ade (KSA), centering on concerns about his current condition and location.
One of his daughters, Damilola Esther, publicly accused her half-brother, Dayo Adegeye, via social media of isolating their father and allegedly mismanaging event bookings on his behalf without honouring them.
In a series of Instagram posts on Monday, Damilola alleged that Dayo, who she identified as acting in a managerial capacity for their father, should be investigated for financial misconduct and “holding their father captive.”

One of her messages read: “Dad told my brother that he wants to go home. Where is he? Where are his phones? He has not been online or picking his calls. Where is he?”
Another stated: “I want Dayo (manager) apprehended. I want him to provide all the money they have been stealing from him. He has a UK visa, thinking he can run.”
However, in a statement on Tuesday, Dayo dismissed the claims, describing them as “malicious” attempt to tarnish KSA’s image.
According to him, “We want to assure the public that King Sunny Ade is safe and sound.
“There is no truth to the kidnapping rumor, and we are taking appropriate steps to address the situation and identify those responsible for spreading this false information.”
Dayo reassured fans and well-wishers that “the King of World Beats, King Sunny Ade, is not abducted or kidnapped by anyone.
“The Adegeye family and King Sunny Ade’s team are working diligently to put an end to the rumor and protect his reputation.
“The public can rest assured that King Sunny Ade is in good health and spirits, and his focus remains on his music and legacy.”
