One of the biggest and most famous Fuji artiste, Saheed Osupa is not having the best of time. His band, members have gone on an indefinite strike because the Fuji star artiste has failed to pay them their monthly dues. The strike option was necessitated by the inability of their principal to pay them their wages at the right time since they joined the band. According to the band boys, Saheed Osupa agreed to pay 26 of them N100,000 and N3,800 each to share among themselves after every show but he never fulfilled his promise as he sometimes pay the said amount to cover two or three shows. The angry band members disclosed that he gladly pays four bouncers who ensure his security at all outings the same N100,000 without stress. Since the actions of the band members came to the notice of the stakeholders in the industry , so many of them have tried to intervene to no avail. Recently, the disenchanted band members met with Saheed Osupa in Sabo, Yaba area of Lagos at the instance of the Association of Professional Drummers of Nigeria (APDON) and both Saheed Osupa and the band members tabled their matter. The band members complained of poor pay and lack of incentives, Osupa stated that the band boys were usually late to shows. Meanwhile it was gathered that Osupa, who charges between N1 million and N800,000 per engagement has recruited some new band members from Igbo ora in Oyo State to work with him and they have been undergoing serious rehearsals to cover any lapses.
