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.”
Known to always identify with youths Pasuma ,
however, was said to have got into the bad
books of some young people during the recent
#EndSARS protests. In a video clip that went
viral on the Internet, he appeared to have been
chased away from a protest venue in Lagos
and was not allowed to make a speech.
However, the entertainer reiterated that no such
thing happened. He also maintained that
contrary to what some people thought, fuji
musicians, including himself supported the
protests.
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.
“Meanwhile, it is not about #EndSARS alone.
We crave for a new Nigeria and for the
betterment of generations yet unborn.”
Responding to a question 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.
