The award-winning singer explained that while he appreciates the unwavering support of his fans across Nigeria and the diaspora, such support should never translate into cyberbullying, harassment or personal attacks against other entertainers.
Pasuma noted that respect, professionalism and peaceful coexistence remain core principles of the Pasuma brand, adding that no supporter has been authorised to speak on his behalf in a manner capable of damaging the reputation of another artiste.
The music legend also warned that his management would no longer tolerate individuals who hide behind fan loyalty or blogging activities to spread defamatory content, misinformation or abusive comments using his name.
According to him, anyone found engaging in such acts should be prepared to face appropriate legal consequences.
The statement has since generated widespread reactions on social media, with many entertainment followers praising Pasuma for promoting respect and responsible conduct among fans.
The Merit Newspaper reports that observers say the warning comes at a time when rivalry among supporters of different musicians has increasingly spilled onto social media, often resulting in insults, false allegations and unnecessary online confrontations.
Widely regarded as one of Africa’s most influential Fuji musicians, Pasuma has built a career spanning more than three decades, earning respect for his contributions to Fuji music and his collaborations across different genres. His latest message reinforces his commitment to preserving peace within the entertainment industry while protecting the integrity of his brand.
