"My head is fortunate; I'm grateful / God's work isn't of human's understanding / Person wey no get helper suppose get sense / My head be fortunate, let me have money."

Musiliu's bold ask at Olojo Festival

The post came in the wake of a memorable scene at the Olojo Festival, where Musiliu was performing before the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi.

Mid-performance, he paused to address the monarch directly, telling him that the jeep previously gifted to him six years ago had aged considerably and asking the royal father to consider replacing it.

The Ooni responded without hesitation, agreeing to present the Apala legend with a brand-new jeep.

The announcement sent the crowd into celebration, and Musiliu himself was visibly overjoyed. He responded by praising the monarch, noting that true leadership has nothing to do with age, before launching into some of his classic songs. The Ooni sang along, clearly moved by the performance

The moment was captured and shared online by Soyoyotv, who wrote on Instagram:

"At Olojo Festival 2026, His Imperial Majesty, the Ooni of Ife, honored The Apala President, @musiliubabatunde with a brand-new Jeep. After six years, this remarkable royal gift marks another unforgettable milestone in his musical journey. Alhamdulillahi. May this honor bring even greater heights."

The clip quickly spread across social media, with many fans celebrating both the musician's candour and the Ooni's generous gesture.
