Yoruba Fuji musician Alhaji Taye Adebisi, popularly known as Taye Currency, has openly declared that his Fuji counterpart, Wasiu Alabi, aka Pasuma, is his boss, while referring to Saheed Osupa as just a colleague
Speaking in an interview last Thursday with Akede Ariya, Taye Currency said:
“Pasuma is my boss. I met him in 1993, and since then, we have been together. I didn’t learn Fuji music from him, but I just love him because he is a humble person. It is not that I’m disrespecting him or anything. I wasn’t his drummer or backup singer. He was in Lagos, and I was in Ibadan. So, the controversy between us was caused by fan reactions. We are not fighting.”
Addressing past misunderstandings, he added:
“Anybody who has known each other for 30 years, even as a boss and a worker, is liable to have misunderstandings. We are not the first to have a misunderstanding, but it is our fans who are prolonging it. Pasuma is not a troublesome person, nor am I. So I have asked people the questions repeatedly; how did I insult Pasuma, what did I insult Pasuma with?”
Speaking on his relationship with other Fuji musicians, he stated:
“Obesere, who is now a leader for us in Fuji music, is my brother. Saheed Osupa, on the other hand, is my colleague; I know him just as a singer. But Pasuma is my boss because I admit it.”
Back in October 2024, Taye Currency had rejected claims that Pasuma was his ‘father’ in the Fuji industry, insisting that he was more like an elder brother. His remarks sparked controversy, with Pasuma’s fans criticizing him.
However, in a recent turn of events, Taye Currency met Pasuma in Mecca on Wednesday during the ongoing Umrah 2025 and clarified his previous statements. In a viral video, he expressed regret over any misunderstanding and issued an apology.
“My words were misinterpreted, and I never insulted Pasuma. I respect him, and he remains my boss,” he affirmed.
