The family of legendary Juju musician, Sunday Adegeye, popularly known as King Sunny Ade (KSA), has reassured the public that the music icon is alive, safe, and in good health, countering circulating reports of his disappearance.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, KSA’s son and manager, Dayo Adegeye, labeled the rumors as baseless and malicious. “There is absolutely no truth to the claims that King Sunny Ade is missing. He is in excellent health and spirits,” he stated.
The clarification follows concerns raised by one of KSA’s daughters, Damilola Adeniyi, who alleged that her father had been unreachable for weeks and accused his manager of keeping him isolated from the family.
Responding to these allegations, Dayo Adegeye explained that King Sunny Ade had intentionally chosen to maintain a low profile to rest and enjoy some privacy, emphasizing that the music legend remains closely connected to his career and legacy.
The family further noted that they are taking necessary steps to address the false reports and urged the public to disregard the rumors.
