The family of prominent Nigerian musician Sunday Adeniyi Adegeye, popularly known as King Sunny Ade (KSA), has dismissed claims about his disappearance, saying ” he is safe and sound.”
One of his children, who doubles as his manager, Dayo Adegeye, made the clarification in a statement on Tuesday.
Adegeye dismissed the rumour, describing it as a “malicious” attempt to tarnish the legendary musician’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.”
Adegeye 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 rumour 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.”
The Eagle Online had reported that Damilola, one of the daughters of the Juju maestro, has raised the alarm that her father has been isolated from his family.

A senior journalist with THISDAY Newspaper, Olawale Olaleye, also confirmed this in a post he shared on Facebook while searching for KSA.
Damilola Esther Adeniyi Adegeye had on social media accused some persons of keeping her father away from the family.
She said those involved are managing her father’s business and in some instances are taking playing appointments they knew he could not keep.
She said such promised appearances were accepted by two persons she did not fully name without the consent of King Sunny Ade.
She thus implored the police to step in so as to unravel the true situation of things with her father.
