In a surprising turn of events, Saheed Osupa, the renowned Fuji musician, has announced the discontinuation of the legal action against fellow musician Portable.
The lawsuit was initiated by Osupa’s management team in response to alleged intellectual property rights violations and defamation.
According to Osupa’s team, the objective of the lawsuit was to set a precedent that would promote responsibility among artists, particularly younger ones. However, following emotional appeals from prominent figures, including Alhaji Ahmad Lawal and Saheed Ibile, Osupa has decided to drop the case.

Osupa’s team highlighted: “Please note that this decision is driven by compassion and the hope that this moment will serve as a turning point in Portable’s life and career, as Osupa believes that while accountability is essential, mercy, too, is a pillar of leadership. He hopes that Portable will seize this opportunity for reflection, growth, and transformation.”
The conditions as listed by Osupa’s team:
“Retract his statement implying Saheed Osupa should be held responsible if anything happens to him.”
“Confess to the falsehood of the public claim of his lawyer, Chief Bar. Isaac Adebayo, about holding Saheed Osupa’s leg begging for forgiveness because , contrary to this claim, Osupa did not even set his eyes on Portable.”
“Sign an undertaking to desist from cyberbullying, defamation, and character assassination henceforth.”
Lastly, the team emphasized that: “ If these conditions are not met, the case may be reinstated.”
