Barryshowkey tackles paternity rumours with new song

United States-based fuji musician Adéwálé Àkànjí, known as Barryshowkey, has directly confronted lingering speculation about his paternity with his new seven-minute single, 'DNA.' The song tackles circulating social media claims that the singer is not the biological son of the late fuji music pioneer, Ayinde Barrister.

In the track, Barryshowkey firmly dismisses these allegations, asserting that his late father never questioned his paternity or disowned him during his lifetime. He states in the song, “Sikiru Ayinde Barrister never disowned me as a child. Until his passing, I remained one of his favourite children.”

The singer explained that the song was inspired by a need to correct what he described as misleading narratives about his family and to reaffirm his identity as one of the children of the late fuji icon. Barryshowkey also revealed that a music video for the single is in the works and will be released soon. He expressed his determination to establish his own identity through hard work, originality, and consistency.

Barryshowkey also disclosed plans for a homecoming to Nigeria, which he believes will provide an opportunity to reconnect with his fans and perform for his supporters.
