No rift with Osupa, says Pasuma
Fuji music star Alhaji Wasiu Alabi Pasuma has addressed controversy over a leaked voice note in which fellow artist Saheed Osupa made remarks perceived as critical of his music.
In the audio, Osupa reportedly suggested that songs by Pasuma and Fuji music co-founder Kollington Ayinla may not stand the test of time, prompting swift reactions on social media.
The development triggered backlash from fans of both artistes, many of whom accused Osupa of hypocrisy, questioning how someone who publicly identifies as Pasuma’s friend could make such comments privately.
However, Pasuma has downplayed the tension, insisting that his relationship with Osupa remains intact.
Speaking during a recent live performance, the singer reaffirmed their bond, noting that despite the controversy, they still maintain regular communication.
“Osupa is still my friend. We may not see each other every day, but we talk on the phone regularly,” he said.
In a show of goodwill, Pasuma went on to perform some of Osupa’s popular songs during the event, further signalling that there is no lingering animosity between the two Fuji stars.
