Adewale Ayuba Calls for a Fuji Music Renaissance
Fuji legend Adewale Ayuba has made a passionate call to top Afrobeats stars, including Adekunle Gold and Tiwa Savage. His message is clear — it’s time to take Fuji music to the global stage.
During a chat with Adekunle Gold on Apple Music Radio, Ayuba shared his dream of elevating Fuji beyond Nigeria’s borders. He said, “I want to collaborate with the likes of you, Tiwa Savage, everybody, to make Fuji music popular. Fuji is ours, and we must embrace it.”
Fuji Music’s Global Potential
Known as the Bonsue Fuji King, Ayuba believes Fuji holds immense potential to reach international audiences. He compared his goal to Bob Marley’s impact on reggae, emphasizing that with innovation and collaboration, Fuji can thrive worldwide.
Ayuba explained that Fuji combines rhythm, storytelling, and emotion — elements that resonate with global listeners. He believes that modern partnerships with Afrobeats stars could introduce a new generation to the genre’s vibrant roots.
Adekunle Gold’s Full-Circle Moment
The conversation with Adekunle Gold felt deeply symbolic. Gold’s music often blends Fuji influences with modern Afropop, creating a bridge between generations. His recent album Fuji and its standout track Many People both feature Ayuba’s voice and presence.
Adekunle Gold reflected on the collaboration, saying, “I grew up hearing Ayuba’s songs everywhere — on the streets, at parties, on the radio. Talking about the future of Fuji with him feels surreal.”
Honoring Fuji’s Legacy and Future
Ayuba praised Adekunle Gold for keeping Fuji’s rhythm alive through modern soundscapes. He described Fuji as “complete music — filled with love, dance, and energy.”
The veteran singer encouraged young Nigerian artists to explore Fuji’s origins and add their unique spin. He believes this fusion could position Fuji as Africa’s next major export, following Afrobeats’ global success.
Fuji to the World
Adewale Ayuba’s message carries both pride and purpose. By inviting artists like Adekunle Gold and Tiwa Savage to collaborate, he hopes to push Fuji into new frontiers.
