Saheed Osupa CrIticIzes K1 De Ultimate for Accepting Money from Taye Currency Amid Feud with Pasuma (Video)

A new video circulating on social media captures the moment fuji legend Saheed Osupa threw subtle shade at his colleague K1 DE Ultimate for accepting money from Taye Currency amid the latter’s ongoing dispute with Pasuma.

It’s well known that Taye Currency, formerly called Taye Paso, is not on good terms with his mentor, Alhaji Alabi Pasuma, a rift that has drawn mixed reactions online.

In the performance video, Taye Currency clarified that although he rose to fame by following in Pasuma’s footsteps, he does not see Pasuma as his “father” in the industry. He noted that while he’s performed everywhere Pasuma has, there are also places he has performed that Pasuma has yet to reach.

This situation has sparked mixed reactions across social media, and it reportedly didn’t sit well with K1 De Ultimate, who disapproved of Taye Currency’s behavior toward Pasuma.

A clip soon surfaced online showing Taye Currency visiting K1 De Ultimate at his home, where K1 was seen cooking in the kitchen. In the video, K1 advised Taye Currency to apologize to Pasuma, marking the beginning of a notable exchange. Moments later in the clip, Taye Currency was seen showering K1 De Ultimate with cash.

The video didn’t sit well with Fuji singer Saheed Osupa, who believes K1 De Ultimate’s love for money is excessive for someone who regards himself as an industry leader.

Osupa felt that K1 De Ultimate didn’t reprimand Taye Currency firmly enough, as an elder should when a younger artist disrespects a senior.

In a subtle jab at K1, Osupa praised notable fuji artists like Pasuma, himself, Abass Obesere, and the late Barrister, adding that figures like K1, who followed Barrister, are more like companions in the industry rather than top-tier artists like those he mentioned.

Osupa’s video has since gone viral on X (formerly Twitter), garnering over 2,000 likes and 500,000 impressions.

@adebayo_sheikh: Only those who understand Yoruba deeply will be able to comprehend this. He referred to himself, Pasuma, Obesere, and SAB as Anobi (prophet) and called people who worked under SAB and rose to fame as companions/disciples (SABE). This is definitely K1 sub.

@Mustaphayemi7: Pasuma is anobi of Fuji, Osupa himself is anobi fuji, Obesere is anobi fuji. Meaning that many fuji artists has come out from the 3 he mentioned and are making wave but others are not like them automatically this 3 are the anobi of fuji world including Barry the first anobi.

@mamalhaji_abdul: It’s not cooking anything bad… Sikiru Ayinde Barrister SAB call it Fuji yeah others followed him, Obesere brought ashakasa new thing very different from what they were singing generally, Pasuma brought another thing that’s also different not like others & Saheed Osupa came too.

@segunbabalola10: The good thing in this video is the acknowledgement of Baa wasi as the creator of his style and have many Fuji musicians who are copying his style.

@rickayguyo: If any1 can read that short video where K1 was talking to Taye, you could tell that K1 didn’t word that boy has Elders should do when kids misstep towards elders,you should tell them the consequences &of their actions should be remorse in his words but instead he is spraying 💵.
