Speaking during a recent interview, Iya Rainbow revealed that Pasuma's late mother was actively involved in the Yoruba movie industry during her lifetime.
According to her, the singer's mother worked under the late Baba Agbako, a relationship that may have led many people to assume there was a family connection.
She stressed that the public misunderstood their professional relationship and gradually turned it into a false story.
"I am always surprised whenever I hear people calling the late Baba Agbako Pasuma Wonder's father," she said.
The actress added that many veterans in the Yoruba film industry can testify that Pasuma's mother was simply one of Baba Agbako's actresses.
Iya Rainbow recalled that Pasuma was no longer a little child by the time his mother introduced him to members of the entertainment industry.
According to her, there was never any secret about his family background.
She maintained that the rumours have persisted over the years despite those who knew the truth.
The veteran actress noted that people often spread stories without confirming the facts.
Beyond clearing the rumour, Iya Rainbow also spoke glowingly about the Fuji musician's character.
She described Pasuma as a respectful man who has remained connected to people who shared a close relationship with his late mother.
Despite becoming one of Nigeria's biggest Fuji stars, she said he never abandoned those who stood by his mother during her lifetime.
"When Pasuma became popular, he chose not to abandon all of us who were close to his mother, including me," she said.
The actress went on to offer heartfelt prayers for the singer, asking God to grant him long life, good health and continued success.
