The legendary singer, King Sunny Ade, has dismissed the claims that he was kidnapped.
He made this known in a live video shared on social networks.
Tribune Online reports that Damilola Adegeye took his Instagram page on Monday, declaring his missing father and also accused his stepbrother, Dayo, to maintain the legend of music against his will.
However, to calm the increasing concerns of the public, one of the children of the music icon, which is also its manager, Dayo Adegeye, dismissed Damilola's claims, describing him as a false and deliberate attempt to tarnish the reputation of the veteran musician.
He said: “No one kidnapped me. I pray, since I don't want anyone to kidnap me. I think the whole world is in love with me.

“This is me, King Sunny Ade. I have to thank God and my fans, for the concern.
“I've been doing my shows. I was in a show last Saturday in Lekki, Lagos. I'm on the way to having a show, and I will also play again in Lagos.
“So, I have nothing to say more than thank God and thank you,” Ksa said.
The singer also expressed his gratitude to Nigerians and fans around the world for their concern, explaining that confusion may have arisen because some of their children had not seen him in a long time.
“I know that my children are in love with me, and they want to see me. I did not go anywhere. This is me. I also thank the children for their concern.
“By the grace of God, enjoyment continues. I am still in music. Music is my life; it is my business, and I will continue to do it. I thank the whole world for loving me as usual,” he added.
