Nollywood has been plunged into grief following the untimely death of Yoruba movie actor and producer, Seun Osundiya—fondly known to fans as Seun Confirm.
The news broke after veteran actress Jaiye Kuti (Jayeola Monje) posted a deeply emotional tribute on Instagram, leaving colleagues and admirers across the industry reeling.
“Seun Confirm… Aaaah, your departure pains me deeply… High BPH. We shall meet at the feet of Jesus. Rest well, and may God comfort your family,” Kuti wrote, her words resonating with a wave of sorrow that quickly spread across social media.
A Star on the Rise
Seun Confirm had steadily carved a niche for himself in the Yoruba film scene, delivering memorable performances in productions such as Osole, Eru Aye, Ajoke Apesin, and Mr Jerico. His versatility shone beyond acting—he was a producer and a sought-after master of ceremonies, admired for his charisma and dedication to his craft.
The Silent Threat Behind His Death
Reports indicate that Seun’s death was caused by complications from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)—a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate that can lead to serious health issues if left untreated. His passing has sparked renewed calls for awareness on men’s health, particularly conditions that often go undiagnosed due to stigma or lack of regular medical checks.
Tributes and Legacy
From Lagos to global Nollywood communities, tributes have flooded in from fans, co-stars, and industry figures. Many have described Seun Confirm as a vibrant, passionate performer whose career was only just beginning to bloom.
His absence leaves a void that colleagues say will be hard to fill, but his work—both on-screen and behind the scenes—will remain part of Yoruba cinema’s growing legacy.
