Daddy Showkey Shares Touching Story of Pasuma’s Support During Hard Times
In a separate moment of emotional reflection, Nigerian music icon Daddy Showkey took time during a recent live performance to express deep gratitude to Fuji legend Alabi Pasuma.
According to Daddy Showkey, Pasuma stood by him during one of the darkest chapters of his life—after a serious accident in 2007 left him hospitalized for three years. He told the crowd that during that difficult time, Pasuma stepped up in ways others didn’t.
“He fed my family for three years,” Showkey said emotionally, as Pasuma joined him on stage. “He was the only one who showed up when I was down. People I called friends turned away, even when I knocked on their doors.”
Describing Pasuma as his true brother in the industry, Showkey reminded everyone that loyalty isn’t measured by words—but by action in moments when it counts most.
