Legendary Nigerian juju musician, Sunday Adegeye, popularly known as King Sunny Ade (KSA), has publicly dispelled rumours of his alleged disappearance, stating that he is “alive, healthy, and grateful” to his fans.
In a bid to set the record straight, the 78-year-old music icon issued a press statement on Tuesday via his official Instagram account.
The singer reassured the public of his well-being, describing the rumours as entirely “false and malicious.”
“Contrary to the falsehood and fabricated news dated 28 April 2025, peddled by Damilola Esther Adeniyi-Adegeye and her associates, who declared that I was missing, I hereby state as follows:
“I, Dr Sunday Adeniyi-Adegeye MFR, also known as King Sunny Ade, am alive and well. The falsehood about my disappearance or being missing is entirely baseless.
“I am grateful for the love and support of my fans. Thank you for your concern. It is important to address these falsehoods and assure the public that I am safe.
“I admonish the blogger(s) and those spreading this misinformation to desist, or be prepared to face legal action,” the statement read.
The singer reiterated that he had recently performed at several events and is currently preparing for an upcoming show in Akure, Ondo State.

Meanwhile, in another trending video, the “Aye Nreti Eleya” crooner boldly stated that he was not kidnapped but rather took time to rest.
“People are more important than clothes; people are the honourary clothes I wear to cover myself,” KSA said. “During the few days I took to rest, people started saying they hadn’t seen me. I thank God that I didn’t go anywhere, I wasn’t kidnapped, and I didn’t kidnap myself either.”
The video, recorded inside a vehicle, showed KSA in high spirits as he appreciated the overwhelming concern expressed by fans and associates across the globe.
“I must thank my fans worldwide because people have been calling me non-stop for the past 70-something hours,” he added.
