Nigerian Fuji singer Pasuma has spoken about his colleague, Busola Oke.
In a recent interview, he stated that grace differs in the music industry, noting that there are times when a song will blow, but the CDs won’t sell as expected, so the singer will make his/her money from shows.
Pasuma said that the time Busola sang Eleyele has passed because people have moved on from that kind of music. He said that anyone who is still making a living from singing is just by the grace of God, as things have changed.
The Fuji maestro added that Busola is his personal person and he felt bad when he watched the video of her crying. He noted that a musician can sing one song and become a millionaire for life, whereas another can sing one song and people will expect him to sing another.
“Whatever happened between Bayowa and Busola is between them and God. We don’t know their agreement on the sharing formula for her songs. There are times when a song will blow, but they will not sell the CDs as expected, so the singer will make his/her money from shows. The sharing formula for juju is different from that of Fuji. The time she sang Eleyele has passed because people have moved on from that kind of music
Anyone who was singing then and is still singing now is just by the grace of God. Things have changed. Busola is my personal person. We were both with Bayowa during that period. I felt so bad for her when I watched the video of her crying. It shouldn’t have been Busola. A musician can sing one song and become a millionaire for life, whereas another can sing one song, and people will be expecting him to sing another. It is not her fault that she is in the situation she is now”.
