Fuji legend, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal 1, better known as Kwam 1 or K1 De Ultimate, has waded into the escalating drama involving his junior colleague, Taye Akande Adebisi, popularly known as Taye Currency, over what many have deemed as a blatant show of disrespect towards the highly respected veteran, Wasiu Alabi Pasuma.
The entertainment industry is trembling as K1 De Ultimate has formally entered the developing dispute between Pasuma and his less experienced colleagues, Taye Currency.
Taye Currency’s subtle poke at his instructor Pasuma has now escalated into a full-fledged spectacle that nobody could have predicted.
Both fan bases were shocked by Taye’s subtle yet penetrating shade, which didn’t sit well with Pasuma.
The controversy erupted like a bomb when Taye Currency, during a stage performance, boldly declared that Pasuma, despite their long-standing mentor-mentee relationship, could not be considered his “father” in the Fuji music industry.
His words weren’t delivered lightly—they were sharp, deliberate, and intended to draw a line.
Although Taye had, in the past, been vocal in his praises for Pasuma, this time he sought to make a clear distinction: Pasuma was his elder brother, but not old or significant enough in the Fuji hierarchy to hold the revered position of a father figure in his life or career.
However, this direct challenge didn’t sit well with the Fuji world, especially not with Pasuma. Known for his humility and revered stature in the industry, Pasuma was quick to respond, and his rebuttal was as sharp as Taye’s initial blow.
It was amid this brewing storm that K1 De Ultimate, one of the undisputed godfathers of Fuji, decided to intervene. Not one to sit on the sidelines when the Fuji family is in disarray, Kwam 1 addressed the growing feud head-on during a live performance.
His words carried the weight of decades in the industry and the authority that comes with being a legend.
Turning first to Taye Currency, Kwam 1’s admonishment was clear and piercing. He urged Taye to put aside his ego, reminding him that no matter how far he has come or how influential he might be, respect for those who paved the way is non-negotiable.
Kwam 1 sang passionately, reiterated that Pasuma would always be a father figure to him, not just because of seniority in the industry but because of the role he played in Taye’s own rise.
In a powerful twist, he turned his attention to Pasuma. In a viral video of the event, Kwam 1 could be seen offering Pasuma equally sage advice, counseling him to rise above the hurt and take Taye’s words in stride.
He reminded Pasuma that as a veteran and a respected elder in the Fuji world, he must learn to absorb the barbs and criticisms from younger artists without letting it wound his spirit.
