Fuji exponent Saheed Osupa is now back to school to study political science after he was spotted on the 14^th of June, 2016 at the International Conference Centre of the University of Ibadan, in a matriculation Ceremony garment.

The energetic performer who cites Ayinde Barrister as his music inspiration and who also claimed that he earlier turned down an opportunity to join the US Marine in a bid to pursue a career in music back home was part of a number of newly admitted students for the 2015/16 Open and Distance Learning Institute of the University.

Saheed was born into a music-loving family in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State but grew up in Ajegunle, Lagos State. His father, Moshood Ajiwere Layeye was a Wéré music artist and also an elder cousin to the legendary Fuji musician Ayinde Barrister.
