- Adewale Ayuba and K1 De Ultimate, in individual interviews, fiercely debated their seniority in the Fuji industry, citing age and historical precedence.
- KWAM 1 passionately detailed his arguments, tracing them through historical milestones, while Ayuba bolstered his claims with a recount of his early days in the Fuji scene, sparking widespread reactions online
Two of the most beloved and highly followed Fuji music maestros, Adewale Ayuba and King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall (KWAM 1), recently stirred up a heated debate in captivating video highlights, where they discussed who jump-started their journey as a Fuji singer first.
In a viral compilation video showcasing separate interviews, K1 De Ultimate was prominently captured in an old sit-down with human rights activist Omoyele Sowore, passionately addressing a perceived rivalry with Ayuba.
KWAM 1 staunchly asserted his seniority over Ayuba in both age and as a pioneer of Fuji music long before him.
The 67-year-old boldly proclaimed that he finds it absurd to even entertain the idea of rivalry with Ayuba, given his advanced years and extensive experience in the industry. He dismissed any notion of competition as trivial and unworthy of his stature.
Adewale Ayuba, in a recent interview with comedian Teju Babyface, found himself grilled about his recent encounter with KWAM 1, where he respectfully bowed before him—an act that puzzled his fans who firmly believe Ayuba is an elder statesman in fuji compared to K1 De Ultimate.
In his candid response, Ayuba staunchly defended his respectful bow before KWAM 1, citing it as a reflection of his deeply ingrained Yoruba values of respect, which he extends even to those younger than himself.
The 59-year-old went on to commend K1 De Ultimate as a seasoned peer who surpasses him in age and boasts an earlier solo album release.
However, Ayuba countered by highlighting his own early initiation into music, starting his singing journey and personally began honing his musical talents at the remarkably young age of 7.
Ayuba asserted that he began recording in the studio at the age of 20, dismissed KWAM 1’s earlier studio album release as insufficient proof of seniority in Fuji music.
He added that the debate over superiority remains a mystery destined for divine revelation.
