Fuji icon Taye Currency tenders public apology to Pasuma over comments
Popular Fuji musician Taye Currency has publicly apologized to his senior colleague, Pasuma, for his recent comments.
During a recent performance, Taye Currency expressed disapproval of fans referring to Pasuma as his “father” in the music industry.
He mentioned that Pasuma is like an elder brother to him and that he cannot father him, a remark that has sparked controversy on social media.
In response to the backlash, Taye Currency, featured in a viral video, extended a sincere apology to Pasuma and anyone who felt hurt by his comments, clarifying that his words were taken out of context.
While expressing regret for any offence caused by his remarks, he said “Good day, everyone. My name is Alhaji Taye Currency. Following the recent rumour on social media, I want to greet our people and those who love us, especially Pasuma’s supporters and the lovers of Fuji music in general.
“People who misunderstood my comments should not be angry. I sincerely apologise for what happened because people interpret words differently, and that’s what I have come to understand.
“Some individuals have misinterpreted my words as an insult to Pasuma, but I don’t see how anyone can point to anything I said as abusive. He is my boss. Arabanbi, Apesin, Oganla Fuji. We are one, so please don’t separate us.
“Alhaji Alabi Pasuma is my boss. He knows I’m loyal to him. For it not to seem disrespectful, I apologise to Pasuma. You are an elder. To Pasuma’s fans club, I’m sorry; Taye Currency fans, one love. Alhaji Alao, please don’t be angry”, he said in Yoruba.
Taye Currency began his music career as a teenager and attributes his success to his unwavering character and the invaluable guidance of his industry mentor, Pasuma.
