Fuji musician Taye Currency recently made headlines after publicly apologizing to his mentor, Alhaji Wasiu Alabi Pasuma, for a comment that sparked controversy. In a viral video, Taye Currency, who hails from Ibadan, explained that his remarks were misunderstood, emphasizing that people misinterpreted the nature of his relationship with Pasuma.
Before rising to fame in the Nigerian Fuji scene, Taye Currency used to refer to himself as “Taye Paso” due to the similarities in their singing styles. In the Arabambi family hierarchy, Taye is Arabambi 3rd, Pasuma is Arabambi 2nd, and K1 De Ultimate holds the title of the original Arabambi. Taye is well-known for praising Pasuma in his music, expressing loyalty and humility toward the Fuji icon.
However, as Taye Currency approaches his 50th birthday on December 17th, he made a statement clarifying that Pasuma should not be referred to as his father in the Fuji music industry, but rather as an elder brother. He explained, “Egbon mi ni Paso, ko to mi bi,” meaning Pasuma is more of an elder brother than a father.
Taye, who also boasted about his political influence and status as the biggest Fuji artist from Ibadan, clarified that the comment was not intended to disrespect Pasuma. Following the backlash, he issued a heartfelt apology in a new video, reaffirming his loyalty to Pasuma and asking for forgiveness. He stressed that he never meant to suggest Pasuma was merely an elderly figure, and expressed deep respect for his mentor and their long-standing relationship.
