Veteran Nigerian galala singer, Daddy Showkey, has emotionally revealed that Fuji music icon, Alhaji Wasiu Alabi Pasuma, supported his family with food supplies for three consistent years. In a recent viral interview, Showkey recounted a low point in his life when he struggled to feed his household, and how Pasuma stepped in as an unexpected pillar.
While many saw Daddy Showkey as a symbol of strength and street pride, few knew the hardship he endured behind closed doors. According to him, Pasuma never told anyone about his benevolence, nor did he seek recognition—making the gesture even more profound and admirable.
