Wasiu Alabi, better known as Pasuma, is a popular Fuji artist in Nigeria. Fuji is a genre of music that originated from the Yoruba people of Nigeria and is a mix of traditional Yoruba music, Islamic hymns, and western influence. Pasuma has been active in the music industry for over three decades and has released several albums throughout his career.
Unfortunately, Pasuma’s mother, Adija Odetola, also known as Iyawo Anobi, passed away on April 6, 2023. Islamic traditions require that the deceased be buried as soon as possible after death, so she was laid to rest the following day. She was 84 years old at the time of her passing.
Saheed Osupa is also a Fuji artist and a longtime friend and colleague of Pasuma. He shared a video on Instagram showing the moment he spoke with Pasuma over the phone to offer his condolences. Despite being unable to meet in person due to COVID-19 restrictions or other factors, Osupa and Pasuma were still able to connect through technology and offer support to each other during this difficult time.
