On Tuesday, top entertainers gathered at Anchor Event Center, Lagos State to celebrate Fuji star Abass Akande Obesere aka Omo Rapala’s 60th birthday.

One of the highlights of the birthday party was the attendance of Fuji singers, Saheed Osupa and Taiwo Akande Adebisi aka Taye Currency. The duo put rivalry and fuji music supremacy aside as they felicitated with one of their own.

The Ibadan-born celebrant thrilled guests with his performance, taking the stage to deliver some of his hit songs while stealing the show with his energetic dance moves while dressed in a purple-stoned agbada and a matching purple durag.

During his performance, guests showered Obesere—also known as Papa Tosibe—with cash. He and his wife, Tolanikawo Akande, also received special prayers from Sheik Sanu Sheu.

The Egungun Be Careful singer elevated the grand celebration with a heartfelt philanthropic gesture by commissioning a multi-million-naira mosque situated at the premises of Iponri Grammar School in Lagos, his alma mater. The project was done in conjunction with the Sidophobia Fans Club of Obesere, his official fans club.

Obesere received a warm welcome from students and staff, who honoured him with vibrant cultural performances and heartfelt tributes.

In addition, he donated essential educational materials, including books, school bags, and other supplies.

During his speech, the singer expressed gratitude to the school management and emphasised the importance of education.

He shared, “I have always believed in giving back quietly, but this year, God told me it must be loud. Today, we commission this multi-million-naira mosque, which is a dream come true for me. I am deeply grateful to everyone, especially my fans, for making this possible.”

The celebrant also gifted one of his band members, Sharafa Salawudeen, a house in Ibadan, Oyo State. According to him, Salawudeen has been with him through thick and thin, and the house is his own way of appreciating his loyalty.

He also gifted plots of land, each now valued at over N5 million, to his entire band members.

Obesere further explained that his gesture toward his band members was not meant to be pompous or showy but was driven by a desire to do something unprecedented in the music industry.

He added that the gesture would inspire others to do the right things, emphasising his love for making people happy.

Obesere who was initially signed with Sony Music but later moved on to other labels after payment disputes is currently signed to Mayors Ville Entertainment, an artist management firm and subsidiary of Maxgolan Entertainment Group, a record company based in Lagos, Nigeria.
