Fuji music icon Wasiu Alabi Pasuma has sent a strong message to his fans worldwide, urging them to stop using his name or brand to drag or disrespect fellow artistes on social media. The 'Oganla' crooner made the appeal in a video shared on Facebook, where he emphasized that music is a matter of personal choice and that loyalty to an artist should not become an excuse for insults or online hostility.
Pasuma Calls for Maturity and Respect Among Fans
In the video, Pasuma stated: "Please do not use my name or my brand to drag or disrespect any artist. Music is about choice. Love who you love. Support who you support." He reminded his supporters that they are free to identify with any artist of their choice but should avoid insults and unnecessary online confrontations. "Be loyal, be mature, and let us uphold the values and ethics that we stand for," he added.
Pasuma's message comes amid growing fan wars on social media between supporters of different music camps. The veteran singer stressed that music should unite people rather than create division. "Everyone has their choice of music. Everyone has their fans. Let's stay loyal, let's stay mature, and let's stay true to the ethics of our culture. Music unites us.
