About Adekunle Fuji

A graduate of Theater Arts, University of Lagos, he hails from Ipetu Modu in Osun State. Born into a royal family, his father was one of the former kings in Ipetu. He launched himself into Fuji music, a Hip-hop kind of Fuji that gave him much popularity among both the Fuji and Hip-hop fans, secular and gospel music fans. This, in 2008, won him the award of The Best Fuji Artiste, an award he is not so proud of because of the aftermath of having to cope with disturbances from area boys. Having lost his father at an early age and later, his mother, Adekunle Oloyede had to struggle through life, an experience he described as bad. But in all, he is more grateful to God that His pattern of growing up in the hands of his foster parents, never affected his person and career.
