Nigerian music legend Daddy Showkey has opened up in a very honest way about a difficult time in his life. He talked about how Fuji musician Alabi Pasuma became his only true friend and supporter when he needed help the most. The story came out during a recent celebrity event in Lagos, where Daddy Showkey was performing.
Pasuma joined him on stage, and the crowd cheered as Daddy Showkey began to tell his story. The moment was captured on video and has since gone viral on social media.
The Accident That Changed Everything
Daddy Showkey explained that in 2007, he had a very bad accident. This accident was so serious that he had to stay in the hospital for three years.
During this time, he could not perform or make money for his family. He said he felt very sad and worried about how his family would survive.
“I was in the hospital for three years. I could not sing or do shows. My family needed food, my children needed to go to school, and I was helpless,” Daddy Showkey said, looking emotional.
Pasuma Steps In

Daddy Showkey said that during this hard time, many of his friends and colleagues in the music industry disappeared. He said he expected help from people he had worked with for many years, but most of them did not come to his aid.
“You see, this man, he stood by me during bad times and good times,” Daddy Showkey said, pointing at Pasuma. “Pasuma was the one taking care of my family. He made sure they were okay while I was in the hospital. I can never forget him in my life.”
He explained that Pasuma sent money, food, and other things his family needed. Pasuma did not just help for a short time—he supported Daddy Showkey’s family for three whole years.
The Pain of Betrayal
After Daddy Showkey got better and left the hospital, he tried to visit some of his old friends and colleagues. He wanted to thank them for any help they might have given, but he was shocked by what happened.
“After I recovered, I visited others but they didn’t give me the opportunity to see them, not to talk of helping,” Daddy Showkey said. “When I got to their houses, they would tell me that they were not around even when they were inside the house.”
He said this experience showed him who his real friends were. “Only Pasuma stood by me. The others disappeared when I needed them the most,” he added.
The Power of True Friendship
Daddy Showkey’s story is a lesson about the importance of true friendship. In the entertainment industry, where people often work together and call each other friends, real loyalty is rare.
“In this industry, you will know your true friends when you face hard times,” Daddy Showkey said. “Pasuma is a true friend. He did not just talk; he acted. He showed love with his actions.”
