The last few days have experienced massive publicity on a new music competition by Fuji star Pasuma Wonder. Tagged #Sing4Pasuma# music competition, it is an online competition where participants are expected to lay vocals on available beats and win prizes. The Kwara born singer has come out to deny the competition. He Says, neither he nor his management company (AO21 Media) is aware of the competition. In a statement released through AO21 Media, Pasuma says ” My attention has yet been drawn to the fraudulent acts of some unscrupulous elements that have continuously been using my name to perpetrate dubious transactions! it will be recalled that different online platforms reported that I opened a Twitter account few weeks ago, a report which brought to light the dirty acts of these people! According to these reports, a Twitter account was opened in my name which attracted tweets from my colleagues in the entertainment industry. Sensing the dangers inherent in such act, I came out to renounce the account, others opened earlier and everything associated with them. It is a fact that I, WASIU ALABI PASUMA, has never opened any Twitter account, let alone used the platform to publicise my works or any ideas as reported by the media. I’m not in any alliance with “@GlobacomLimited” to promote “#SingforPasuma Music Competition.” There was and is nothing like that and as such, members of the public are warned against participating in such event. It is fabricated by internet fraudsters and anyone who deals with them do so at their own risks. I do not own “@PasumaWonder,” neither do I run a G mail account named “[email protected].” in addition, please disregard http://singforpasuma.webs.com, the website provided by this fraudulent souls for the unsuspecting young Nigerians who might be nursing a dream of becoming music star. For the umpteenth time, I am using this opportunity to warn people behind this nefarious act to desist from them before the long arm of the law catches up with them. Efforts are in top gear to bring in EFCC into this so that an end might be brought to it once and for all. Thank you my fans for your continuous support.”
Meanwhile Pasuma will be celebrating 20 years as recording artistes on Sunday October 20 2013. the grand event will hold at Anchor Event Centre, Agidingbi, Ikeja Lagos
