This revelation came during the performance Taiye Currency at the Semi-finals of the Ariya Repete 2018, at the National Stadium, Lagos last weekend, where he said he has since adopted Fuji exponent Said Osupa as his father and Wasiu Alabi Pasuma with whom Osupa is in contention with as his older brother.
