The answers to most of the questions about his plans about marrying any woman in the future were something like this: “I can’t tell. When the time comes, I will know and you will know”.
The famous Fuji musician explained the situation of being single:
“I am not single. I have children out of wedlock. I am married to my children and I am happy with them. That does not erase the fact that I may decide to get married tomorrow.

In some interviews, the singer revealed stories about women he was planning to marry or had a romantic relationship. One of the women he was supposed to marry was Ayo Adesanya:
“I love her so much. Everybody in my family knew her and knew that I wanted to marry her”.
What happened was unveiling the secret love by journalists. Nobody outside of his family knew that he was dating anybody, and that was the way the couple wanted their relationship to be.
Everything happened unexpectedly for the singer. One day he went with Ayo to a show and journalists saw them together. They showed their pictures on the front page of the newspapers. The journalists supposedly heard the rumour, but they couldn’t confirm it. But that day when they saw the couple together, they got a confirmation, without even need to interview them. When the rumors were confirmed, Ayo couldn’t handle that. The musician said that he would call her, but she would say she was busy. He understood that she was withdrawing from the relationship, so, he decided that he had to let her go. Was it a mistake? The artist explained this the following way:
"There is something about love. If you love someone, you’d want them to be happy. If their happiness is not with you, you’ll have to let them go”.
Ayo Adesanya couldn’t handle the pressure, and she was not happy the way she was happy before. Pasuma even said that he was still in love with her, and if she would say “yes” to his marriage proposal that day, he would marry her. Ayo Adesanya has been married before and has a child.
