- For weeks, the Fuji music world has been swept up in the heated drama between Pasuma and his former protégé, Taye Currency.
- Tension escalated to such a level that it drew the attention of KWAM 1, the revered senior to both artists, who had tried to mediate and restore harmony.
- Determined to understand the roots of this falling-out, KWAM 1 hosted Taye Currency in his residence, offering a private space to lay bare the issues behind their fractured bond.
Celebrated Nigerian Fuji sensation Taye Akande Adebisi, better known as Taye Currency, recently made headlines with a visit to the iconic residence of King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall, popularly called KWAM 1, where they delved into the simmering dispute that has set the Fuji world abuzz—Taye’s fallout with fellow Fuji heavyweight Wasiu Alabi Pasuma.
The drama between Taye and Pasuma ignited when, during a live performance, Taye objected to fans addressing his mentor Pasuma as his ‘father’ in the music industry. Taye, whose pride and self-identity run deep, clarified that while he respected Pasuma as an elder brother, he couldn’t see him as a father figure.
This statement, intended to establish his own legacy, didn’t sit well with Pasuma, sparking a social media uproar and sending shockwaves across the Fuji community.
KWAM 1, revered as the godfather of Fuji and deeply respected by both artists, tried to intervene during a recent show, urged Taye to ease the growing friction with an apology.
Although Currency offered a formal apology, it seemed to barely scratch the surface of their feud, leaving tensions as fierce as ever.
Determined to prevent a deeper rupture, KWAM 1 took matters further by inviting Taye Currency to his residence, known as a symbolic place of wisdom and counsel.
The two were seen sharing candid moments in KWAM 1’s kitchen—his favored corner of the house—where they openly discussed the wounds in Taye’s relationship with Pasuma.
In this rare moment, KWAM 1, with the passion and authority of a true Fuji patriarch, reminded Taye of the deep-rooted history and unbreakable bonds that he and Pasuma share, cautioning that such discord was a ‘taboo’ among brothers in the Fuji family.
As the conversation unfolded, KWAM 1’s guidance took on a weighty tone. He instructed Taye to not only reconcile but to actively preserve the respect that binds them. Taye, visibly moved, agreed to make amends and respect KWAM 1’s wishes—a promising gesture that seemed to rekindle hopes of unity among their fans.
Sealing their heartfelt discussion in the signature style of Fuji musicians, Taye and KWAM 1 broke into a powerful Fuji tune, a musical tribute to the harmony they hoped to restore.
