Fuji Singer, Taiye Currency Responds To Critics Of His Performance At Olubadan Coronation
Fuji music star Taye Currency has responded to those condemning him for his choice of performance during the coronation of Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja as the 44th Olubadan of Ibadan.
As earlier reported by eelive.ng, Currency was berated for what critics described as “disgusting and uncultured lyrics” at the coronation of Oba Rashidi Ladoja.
Taye Currency sang “Were la fi n wo were,” a Yoruba phrase that translates to “It takes madness to understand madness”, and the line was the centre of the backlash, with many questioning its relevance to the occasion.
Many social media users also suggested that other Fuji artists, such as Saheed Osupa or KWAM 1, would have been more suitable choices for the occasion.
In response to the backlash, Currency stated during a recent performance that he would have been sidelined if he hadn’t sung in his distinctive style. He also promised to keep singing the song, regardless of public opinion.
“If I don’t sing like that , I would have been sidelined” – Currency says as he continues to sing his “Werey la fin wo werey” song on stage yesterday.
