Seun Confirm: Nollywood loses another rising star

Nollywood has been thrown into mourning following the death of rising Yoruba movie star, Seun Osundiya, popularly known as Seun Confirm.

He passed away from complications related to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), commonly known as an enlarged prostate.

The sad news was confirmed by fellow actress Jaiye Kuti in an emotional Instagram post on Thursday.

“Seun Confirm, your death pains me greatly. High BPH. We shall meet at the feet of Jesus. Sleep well, and may God comfort your family,” she wrote.

Another colleague, Oluwaseyi Edun, also paid tribute, recalling their last conversation in late July.

“Unquestionable God. Seun, you chatted with me on 27 July and even wished me happy last Sunday of the month,” she said.

Seun Confirm was not only an actor but also a film producer and master of ceremonies.

He was known for his versatility and growing influence in the Yoruba movie industry, featuring in popular films such as Osole, Eru Aye, Ajoke Apesin, and Mr Jerico.

His sudden passing comes just weeks after the death of actress Omotola Odunsi, deepening the grief within Nollywood circles.
