The Fuji star revealed he failed to secure a spot on the national team meant to represent Nigeria in the FIFA U-16 World Championship in China in 1985.
He, however, didn't let the failure stop him from trying other things as he pushed his focus and passion towards music.
“I was a footballer, so I was invited for Kodak but I decided to go into music because I wasn’t picked to go to Kodak for the World Cup then so I now said I want to be a musician straight. I was a footballer before,” Pasuma said.
