Over the years, the Mainland Block Party has always been known as a place for the Gen Z audience and lovers of Afrobeats and Amapiano. So, when Fuji legend Saheed Osupa stepped on stage at the latest edition, many were surprised.

But it wasn’t entirely unexpected; some of Osupa’s songs have recently made a comeback on social media, introducing his distinct Fuji sound to a younger audience.

Osupa stole the spotlight at the event, thrilling the Gen Z crowd with his powerful vocals and commanding stage presence. His performance proved that good music truly cuts across generations.

Clips from his set quickly spread online, showing young fans singing along and vibing to his Fuji tunes. The sight of Gen Zs grooving to Osupa’s energetic delivery stirred reactions on social media after the Mainland Block Party shared highlights on its Instagram page.

Instagram user @adeshileoyedokun wrote, “Long live the king of music in general.” Another fan, @emanuelkirk, added, “No age limit to good music.” Others praised the organisers for introducing more cultural diversity to the show’s line-up, calling it one of the most memorable moments of the night.

Over the years, the Mainland Block Party has grown into one of Lagos’s most anticipated youth events, celebrating music, fashion, and nightlife. While it usually spotlights Afrobeats and Amapiano acts, Osupa’s performance brought a refreshing twist, showing how Fuji continues to evolve and connect with younger audiences.
