Daddy Showkey Recounts How Pasuma Supported His Family for Three Years During Recovery

Nigerian veteran musician, Daddy Showkey, has shared an emotional testimony about the unwavering support he received from Fuji star Alabi Pasuma during one of the most challenging periods of his life.

During a recent live performance at a celebrity event, a viral video captured the heartfelt moment Daddy Showkey publicly appreciated Pasuma. The touching tribute happened when Pasuma surprisingly joined him on stage, triggering a powerful wave of nostalgia and gratitude.

According to Daddy Showkey, he suffered a serious accident in 2007, which left him hospitalized for a lengthy period of three years. In the midst of the crisis, when most of his industry colleagues turned their backs, Pasuma stepped in as his sole support system—feeding and caring for his family throughout the ordeal.

“This man stood by me not only in good times but especially in bad times,” Daddy Showkey said passionately on stage.

The singer, known for his energetic stage presence and street credibility, revealed that the accident kept him away from public appearances and performances for years. During this time, Pasuma became the only person in the entertainment industry who consistently showed up for him and his family.

“Many people didn’t see me sing or perform publicly because I was in the hospital for three years. But it was Pasuma who ensured that my family had food and were okay. I will never forget what he did for me,” he added.

He went on to express deep disappointment in other friends and colleagues who distanced themselves during his recovery. He recalled how several of them deliberately avoided him—even when he made efforts to visit.

“I went to see them, but they pretended not to be at home. They would ask people to tell me they weren’t around while they were hiding inside their houses,” he lamented.

This revelation has sparked conversations across social media about loyalty, friendship, and true support in the Nigerian entertainment industry. It also highlights Pasuma’s humility and kindness, beyond his Fuji music legacy.
