Osupa accompanied the images with a warm and emotional message that has since captured the attention of fans and followers across Nigeria.
In his tribute, Osupa described Pasuma as "a brother and friend" while offering powerful prayers for longevity and protection.

The Fuji star painted a picture of Pasuma as someone who brings joy to every environment he enters, while expressing sincere wishes for continued happiness and prosperity in his colleague's life.
Pasuma's Grateful Response
Meanwhile, the birthday celebrant himself, Pasuma, took to his own social media platforms to express gratitude to God for reaching the age of 58. In his characteristic style, the musician known as Baba Jeje kept his message brief but profound.
Pasuma wrote: "Alhamdulillah, I am +1 today. No long epistles, OPE NI FUN OLOHUN, Baba Jeje @58. It’s your prayers that keep me going. I’m grateful, famz."
The simple yet powerful message acknowledged the role of fan support and divine grace in his life journey.
Fan Reactions to the Heartwarming Exchange
The beautiful exchange between the two Fuji icons sparked numerous reactions from fans and followers who celebrated their bond. Many expressed how the message touched them emotionally, particularly given the past perception of rivalry between the two music stars.

Pasuma's Recent Tribute to His Late Mother
In related news, Pasuma had recently demonstrated his own capacity for heartfelt gestures when he moved fans to tears with a grand tribute to his late mother, Alhaja Kubrat Odetola. On Friday, September 5, 2025, the music star unveiled a brand-new, multi-million-naira mansion dedicated to his mother's memory.
This act of filial devotion showcased the same emotional depth that Osupa acknowledged in his birthday message, highlighting Pasuma's character beyond his musical achievements.
Osupa's Recognition as Burna Boy's GOAT
Interestingly, Saheed Osupa himself had recently been in the spotlight when Grammy award winner Burna Boy named him as his Greatest of All Time (GOAT) singer. The Afrobeats star made the declaration during a conversation with tennis legend Roger Federer in Zurich, Switzerland.
Osupa had responded to the honor by stating: "I am profoundly grateful for this powerful acknowledgment from a true Afropop titan."
The mutual respect among Nigerian music icons continues to demonstrate the strong bonds within the industry, with Osupa's birthday message to Pasuma serving as the latest example of genuine camaraderie that transcends competition.
