Popular Fuji musician, Taye Currency has publicly apologised to his senior colleague, Pasuma, over his recent comment about him.

Taye Currency had during a recent performance disapproved of fans calling Pasuma his ‘father’ in the music industry.

He noted that Pasuma is like an elder brother to him and can’t father him. A comment which has generated controversy on social media.

In response to the backlash, Taye Currency, in a viral video apologised to Pasuma and anyone hurt by his statements, stating that his words were misinterpreted.

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 started his music career as a teenager and credits his success to his steadfast character and the invaluable mentorship of his industry mentor, Pasuma.
