Wasiu Alabi Pasuma and Taye Currency Settle Rift in Emotional Reunion at Umrah

In a heartwarming turn of events, the long-standing rift between Fuji music stars Wasiu Alabi Pasuma and his former protégé, Alhaji Taye Akande Adebisi (better known as Taye Currency), has finally been resolved. The peace was brokered during their meeting in Mecca amidst the ongoing Umrah 2025 pilgrimage.

The video has since taken the internet by storm, signaling the end of their public fallout.

From Mentor to Rift: A History of Tensions

The once-close mentor-protégé relationship between Pasuma and Taye Currency took a downturn in 2024, with the two artists exchanging subtle and direct jabs. The tension began when, in October 2024, Taye Currency made headlines for disapproving of fans referring to Pasuma as his “father” in the music industry.

Currency, hailing from Ibadan, clarified that while he holds Pasuma in high regard, the veteran Fuji star is more like an elder brother to him, not a father figure. This remark ignited a storm of reactions, with many fans of Pasuma criticizing Currency for the comments.

Taye Currency’s Apology and Regret

In the wake of the backlash, Taye Currency took to social media, expressing regret over his comments. In a viral video, he emphasized that he had never intended to insult Pasuma and reaffirmed his respect for the 56-year-old artist, acknowledging him as his superior in the Fuji music scene.

“I apologize for any offense caused,” Taye Currency said in the video. “Pasuma is not only a colleague but a mentor. I hold him in high regard, and I never meant to disrespect him. My words were misunderstood, and I am sorry.”

The Resolution: A New Chapter

Sources close to the two music legends have confirmed that the rift has been officially settled, and their meeting in Mecca has provided the much-needed closure. This resolution marks a new chapter in their relationship, with both artists putting past misunderstandings behind them.
