Fuji music star Alhaji Taye Adebisi, better known as Taye Currency, has stirred the pot in Nigeria’s vibrant Fuji circle with fresh revelations about his relationships with industry giants Wasiu Alabi, aka Pasuma, and Saheed Osupa.
In an interview with Akede Ariya last Thursday, as reported by Punch on March 28, 2025, the Ibadan-born singer didn’t hold back.
He hailed Pasuma as his boss, a nod to the mentorship and respect that’s defined their connection since meeting in 1993.
Meanwhile, he tagged Osupa as a colleague, keeping it strictly professional between the two Fuji heavyweights.

This comes hot on the heels of a viral video from Mecca, where Taye Currency was spotted with Pasuma during the ongoing Umrah 2025, patching things up after a rocky patch.
The Mecca meet-up wasn’t just a pilgrimage—it was a peace move.
Taye Currency used the moment to apologise for comments made in October 2024, when he’d bristled at fans calling Pasuma his “father” in the industry.
He’d argued Pasuma was more of an elder brother, a stance that ruffled feathers among Pasuma’s loyal fans.

Now, he’s backtracking, admitting his words were twisted and expressing regret to the 56-year-old Fuji icon.
The interview also saw him tip his hat to Obesere as a brother and a leader in Fuji, while keeping the late Sikiru Ayinde Barrister’s legacy sacred.
Naija music lovers are lapping this up, with X posts buzzing about Taye’s humility and Pasuma’s big-brother vibes.
Below is an excerpt from Taye Currency’s interview:
“I met Pasuma in 1993, and since then we have been together. I didn’t learn Fuji music from him, 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. Those who are insulting us are berating and disrespecting us.
“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?
“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.”
