Nigerian Fuji maestro Kollington Ayinla has broken his silence, responding to accusations from his colleague, King Wasiu Ayinde, popularly known as Kwam1.
The controversy began when Kwam1 alleged in an interview with Agbaletu TV that Kollington failed to offer condolences during the passing of his mother, despite the support Kwam1 extended to Kollington during his own mother’s burial.
Kwam1 recounted how he personally organized dignitaries and covered funeral expenses for Kollington, only to feel betrayed by what he described as a lack of reciprocation. He claimed that Kollington was in Nigeria and in good health but refused to attend or even reach out meaningfully.
In a counter-interview, Kollington refuted these claims, asserting that he made several attempts to contact Kwam1 when his mother passed but was ignored. He questioned why Kwam1 failed to return his calls, hinting that the Fuji star’s newfound status as Olori Omoba (a chieftaincy title) might have made him arrogant.
Kollington emphatically stated that his role as the leader of Fuji music remains unchallenged, asserting,
If Kwam1 wants to take my position, he’ll have to kill me first. Only God can take me from this world, not him.”
This public exchange has reignited old tensions between the two Fuji icons. It comes amidst a history of controversy surrounding Kwam1, including allegations by his former drummer, Kunle Ayanlowo, who accused him of mistreatment and exploitation. Ayanlowo previously described working conditions under Kwam1 as unbearable and accused him of neglecting the well-being of his team members.
Kwam1 has consistently denied these allegations, dismissing them as attempts to tarnish his reputation. He claimed to have raised Ayanlowo when he was struggling and criticized him for his lack of gratitude.
