Wasiu Alabi a popular Nigerian Fuji musician also known as Pasuma most among the Yoruba tribes, said in an interview that he has learnt great lessons in the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Napoli Like Lagos crooner said that his account almost got emptied from helping people at the height of the pandemic in Nigeria. He told Sunday Scoop, “COVID-19 taught all of us very big lessons and it affected everyone’s business in one way or the other. All the same, we thank God that we are gradually getting out of it.
“The pandemic taught me how to be more prudent and to always have a ‘plan B’ in every business one is involved in. It got to a stage that my bank account was almost ‘red’ with the way I gave out palliatives at the height of the pandemic.”
Meanwhile in the heat of the #EndSars protest a video that saw Pasuma being chased away by some youths in Alausa went viral after it was rumored that he was working with the government against the peaceful protest, however the Fuji artist denied such thing ever happening, saying his haters was only trying to spoil spread fake news about him.
He said: “I was not chased away from the protest. Those reports were rumours from my haters. I supported the protesters from the beginning as a fuji musician and there were lots of fuji artistes that stood with the youths as well during that time. We are all Nigerians. If Nigeria is better than it is now, we would all have a place to live in comfortably and call home”.

When he was asked on what projects he is working on, Pasuma said, “I don’t really have any project I am working on at the moment, except my new album, MMM, which was released recently. I am happy that it is currently making waves and selling fast in the market. Also, the video for the title song of the album will be out soon”.
