THE reported tiff between K1 and Pasuma has now got to their fans, as
Pasuma learned the hard way in Ijebu Ode penultimate Sunday during the
launching of Queen Lola Ajibola’s movie. His usual fans, who had
followed him since he declared allegiance to K1 years ago, and who
themselves have been the latter’s fans for decades, refused to ‘paste’
money on his head as he sang their praises for several minutes at the
event.
The film launch took place at the Prime Hall, Molipa on November 25, 2012.
Even when Pasuma swiftly started singing K1’s praise and debunked any
rancour between the two, the pool of fans, comprising individuals and
members of several society associations in Lagos, Ogun and Oyo States,
ignored Pasuma and continued to down what was on their tables.
One of the fans, Alhaji Fatai Banjo (a.k.a Koleru), who admitted to R
that he was a fan of K1, revealed that it was a collective decision by
his Traders Association in Sagamu “to make the young musician see the
folly of biting the hands that feeds one”. Hence the blackout the 17
fans gave Pasuma at the event that Sunday by refusing to part with the
usual cash that accompanies praise-singing.
“K1 does not need all the disrespect that he’s getting from this
issue, he has been good to a lot of people, Pasuma inclusive,” Koleru
said.
“Not until he apologises, we will continue to ignore him”, added Buari Apanifuja.
However, among the few that managed to ‘spray’ Pasuma that night was
Nasiru Jayeoba. The businessman said the media took the Arabambi/Oganla
issue “way too far and it has got out of Paso’s hands, but there is
nothing wrong in what he has done. After all, many others had done so in
the past and not much noise was made about it”.
Abass Obesere, however, praised Pasuma for having the guts to cut
himself loose from the Arabambi clan as he (Obesere) had always believed
Pasuma had the means to stand on his own.
“I told him three years ago that he should dump the clan because he
could stand on his own, but he took it personal and stopped talking to
me.
“Now, he has proved to be a man, and not a boy anymore. As for K1, I
have no problem with him either. He should be happy that Pasuma has
decided to move on”.
