Saheed Osupa and I Parted Ways After Two Children-Ex-Wife Hajia Bisi Bisimilai Opens Up

Ikeja, Lagos – Prominent Lagos socialite and gold jeweler,Hajia Bisi Bisimilai, daughter of Oyo State billionaire Alhaji Bisimilai,has publicly addressed her separation from popular Fuji musician, King Saheed Osupa. In an exclusive interview with City People’s Assistant Society Editor, ABIOLA ORISILE, at the recent opening of her 18-carat gold and exclusive Senegalese fashion store on Opebi Street, Ikeja, Hajia Bisimilai spoke candidly about the dissolution of their marriage and her efforts to sustain the relationship.

Her comments come weeks after Saheed Osupa reportedly stated in an interview that he was not married and had no wife by the name of Bismilai. When asked about her reaction to these utterances, Hajia Bisimilai responded with a degree of composure.

“It’s quite funny to hear him talk that way. If Saheed said he doesn’t have a wife, that means he doesn’t have a wife. He may be saying the truth. We have been separated for over five years now,” she revealed. “Everybody has his or her own challenges. Our marriage is blessed with two wonderful, brilliant kids. If he said that he doesn’t have a wife, I don’t feel bad about it. He is a musician after all. Don’t forget that he may say I am the love of his life tomorrow. I am not affected by it, knowing that I have not offended him or done anything wrong”.

Hajia Bisimilai clarified the circumstances surrounding their separation, stating that it was not triggered by a conflict. “No, we didn’t have a fight; we enjoyed a very good relationship. He told me he was getting an office at Magodo, and he went to have it. He then stopped coming, giving different excuses, and I tried my best to know why he stopped coming home, but to no avail. Until he had that interview and said he didn’t have a wife, so I don’t have a husband too”.

Despite the separation, Hajia Bisimilai emphasized her efforts to reconcile. “I have tried all I could as a dutiful woman. As I am speaking with you, I am still living in his house despite that I have completed my house at Papa Ajao. I have put everything in place since last year, but I am living in his house. My kids are with me. I have searched my conscience and believe that I have done nothing to offend him. He always has a series of excuses.”

Reflecting on her upbringing and personal values, Hajia Bisimilai shared insights into her background. “My father sent us to good schools. I went to Ore Ofe Oluwa Nursery/Pry School, Ibadan, and later to FGSS Oyo. I was a boarder, with my father providing all we needed. I later went to the Polytechnic Ibadan, where I read Marketing and Communication for my ND & HND. After that, I went to London to live.”

When asked about life’s lessons, she offered a thoughtful perspective. “Life has taught me to lie low when rich. Even Saheed does that. He taught me to be prudent; people who make noise are not rich.”
