I AM ANGRY WITH K1..HE DOESN’T RESPECT ME”

“
What could Fuji star, K1 the ultimate have done TO GET Fuji icon Alhaji Kollington Ayinla angry? How come both Kollington and K1 don’t do things together? Last week, Alhaji Kollington Ayinla opened up to City people. Read on.

There are rumours making the rounds that you are quarreling with K1 the Ultimate. Is this true?

I am not happy with Wasiu. I am not happy with some statements he made recently in a paper and he sang about it in a life play.

Really?
Yes, it now made me laugh and laugh. Wasiu is a funny person. He said since Barrister’s death he has become the leader of Fuji musicians. He said he is serious about it and he stands by that assertion that he is the Leader of all fuji musicians in Nigeria.

Who made him leader? I laughed when I read it. The first question I asked myself is does Wasiu want to kill me? (Laughs) Yorubas say lai ku egiri, a ki fi awo re se gbedu, I now started feeling worried about this boy. Or is he the one who killed Sikiru, to be able to take over and become the oga of fuji? And since Sikiru is gone, Kollington too should go? Is that how is done?

He can only become Oga fuji, if Sikiru is no longer alive and I am no longer around. That is the only time he Wasiu can become Oga fuji. That is if the other elders accept, because there are still fuji musicians who are his seniors and are older than him. He is not the most senior. He is not the eldest. He is lucky God has blessed him so he should take life easy. He should be thankful to God. He shouldn’t be bragging or saying his is the leader of fuji or behave arrogantly. He shouldn’t let God get angry.

But he seems to favour Barrister more than you. Could that be why you are criticizing him?

Yes, he was closer to Barrister then. In life you should always remember how you got to the height you are today. When my second, (Barrister) and I were reigning as Fuji stars, where was Wasiu, where were you? He was

He said he is serious about it and he stands by that assertion that he is the Leader of all fuji musicians in Nigeria.

a parker with Barrister. Suddenly he now opened his mouth to say he is the Oga of all of us. Does he want to kill me? Am I not older than him? Am I not Wasiu senior? How can you be Oga of fuji over me when I am still alive and in music. When he made that statement many people called me to ask, Alhaji did you read what Wasiu said? I am angry with him. I consider that an insult. Initially I was always telling them Wasiu couldn’t have said so. He is joking he dare not say that. He must be playing.

What’s the relationship between you and K1?

My relationship with K1 is not cordial, I must not deceive you, because he is junior to me. (Pauses). (Laughs). If he is Oga oni fuji where will he put Ayinde Ade Baba Oba, Ayinla Ade Baba Oba, will Baba Oba now become Omo Oba again. Am I going to become Omo Oba again? You can see that Wasiu has insulted me. That statement he made is very, very insultive. Even if someone telephones Sikiru where he is now that Wasiu says he is the oga of all fuji musicians he will say No, he can’t say that, lailai. The truth is that Sikiru and I suffered for fuji. We really suffered, than for someone tto just come and start blabbing.

How come most people didn’t know that you and late Barrister were very close?

Yeee! Barrister and I were so very close. Like I said to you we would fight, make up, fight make up. All the things he can’t tell anybody, he told me when he was on his side bed in the hospital. He was just revealing as many things. He kept saying Kola please pray for me ooo. So that I can come out of here safely, in one peace. And I was looking at him I was getting afraid because of the operation they did for him and he had lost so much weight and he had become so tiney and small in

size. At times he will break down and cry, I will break down too and cry, I will break down too and cry. Come and see the 2 of us crying, weeping. Our mothers are close. Our mothers are close. Our mothers know both of us. My mum is usually called Iya Ilu Oke. She will recite my Oriki and ask what is wrong with you and your second Sikiru that you go on abusing yourselves. Don’t you know you are brothers? Don’t you know you have been childhood friends? When his mum, Iya Eko sees me, it’s the same question. She will recite Oriki and ask why Sikiru and me fight. It’s the same thing. Sikiru Ayinde, Barrister and 1 have come a long way. Since those days when we would together go and meet his mum at Awolowo market in Mushin, in Lagos we were very, very close, before all these young boys came to be laying claim to one title or the other. Me, I don’t know how to hide something and lie that on this person is a nice boy when he is not. What Wasiu said got me angry because he doesn’t show respect for me. I can’t believe he said so.
