Nigerian Fuji icon star Wasiu Alabi, popularly known as Pasuma, has opened up on the moment his career path changes from football to music.

The 56-year-old music star shared how a setback in his football aspirations steered him towards the world of music.

Pasuma revealed that his initial ambition was to become a professional footballer, and he had high hopes of representing Nigeria on the global stage.

He said:

“I was a footballer, so I was invited for Kodak, but I decided to go into music because I wasn’t picked to go to Kodak for the World Cup then, so I now said I want to be a musician straight. I was a footballer before.”

Despite the setback in his football career, Pasuma did not let the disappointment dampen his spirits, as he focused all his energy on music.
