Observers claim Adewale Ayuba, in viral video, stylishly dodged KWAM 1’s hug during condolence visit

• Ever since K1 De Ultimate laid his beloved mother to rest, a steady stream of celebrities has flowed to his home to pay their respects.
• Among the countless condolence visits, Adewale Ayuba’s appearance stood out, not for the sympathy it conveyed, but for the storm of teasing controversy it unleashed.
• The two Fuji icons, who recently triggered public debate over who pioneered the Fuji music genre, had observers alleging that Ayuba, with calculated precision, stylishly refused K1’s offer of a hug—a moment that many saw as loaded with unspoken tensions.

Fuji Maestro, Adewale Ayuba’s recent condolence visit to his longtime colleague, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall, aka K1 De Ultimate (KWAM 1), triggered an unprecedented storm of observations and conversation online.

Ayuba, accompanied by his entourage, made his way to K1 De Ultimate’s residence, where a crowd of well-wishers had gathered to pay their respects.

As the video of Ayuba’s arrival surfaced online, it quickly went viral, but it was what happened next that caught the public’s attention.

Adewale Ayuba approached K1 De Ultimate with a deep bow, a respectful greeting that set the tone for what should have been a moment of solidarity in the face of grief.

The two exchanged a handshake, a gesture of mutual respect. But when K1 De Ultimate reached out to offer a side hug, a seemingly simple act of comfort, Ayuba’s reaction did not go unnoticed by observers.

This seemingly small move sparked a flurry of reactions online, with many claiming that Ayuba dodged K1’s gesture.

K1 announced the passing of his 105-year-old mother last Saturday, calling her a matriarch in a heartfelt Instagram post.

Following Islamic tradition, she was laid to rest the same day in a well-attended ceremony.

Since then, celebrities like Femi Adebayo, Mercy Aigbe, Kazim Adeoti, Faithia Balogun, and Dayo Amusa have visited K1 to offer condolences.

High-profile figures such as President Bola Tinubu, actor Adebayo Salami, and Fuji legend Obesere have also sent their sympathies.
