- The bond between Fuji’s biggest names has been anything but smooth in recent years, and with the latest uproar, tensions have reached a boiling point.
- From Sefiu Alao’s explosive interview tearing into KWAM 1 over his recent remarks to whispers of a growing rift between Obesere and Pasuma, the internet is ablaze with controversy.
The Fuji music industry is once again ablaze with tension, as four of its biggest powerhouses, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall (KWAM 1), Sefiu Alao, Wasiu Alabi Pasuma, and Abass Akande Obesere, find themselves at the heart of fresh controversies, jabs, and speculated rivalries.
At the center of the storm is KWAM 1, whose recent “Ga Nusi” remark about Islamic clerics who attended his late mother’s Fidau prayer has sparked widespread backlash.
The controversy around him further deepened when a phone conversation between him and President Bola Tinubu went viral. In the clip, President Tinubu called to extend his condolences, but KWAM 1’s tone and mannerisms in response were perceived by many as laced with arrogance and self-importance.
The backlash took a dramatic turn when Fuji veteran Sefiu Alao, appearing on a Yoruba TV show, didn’t hold back in his criticism.
He lambasted KWAM 1, accused him of being excessively proud and disrespectful. Alao openly condemned KWAM 1’s attitude towards Islamic clerics and his alleged display of self-importance during the conversation with the President, branding him as a man consumed by his own ego.

As this feud raged, another controversy erupted in the wake of Obesere’s grand 60th birthday celebration, a star-studded affair graced by top Fuji icons, Nollywood actors, and high-profile socialites. However, one notable absence didn’t go unnoticed, Pasuma.
The no-show triggered an online storm, as a netizen took to social media to slam Pasuma, alleging that he disrespected and dishonored Obesere’s invitation.
According to the angry fan, Pasuma owed his rise to stardom to Obesere, yet he failed to acknowledge this by not attending his milestone celebration.
This claim sent Pasuma’s fans into a frenzy, as they quickly clapped back, argued that Obesere himself had also failed to attend Pasuma’s recent 40 Years on Stage anniversary.
The post and reactions reignited long-standing speculations of a deep-seated rivalry between the two Fuji legends.
