The Aseyin of Iseyin, Oba Sefiu Oyebola Ajirotutu Adeyeri III, has stepped in to mediate the ongoing feud between ace Fuji musician, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall (KWAM 1), and his estranged lead drummer, Ayankunle Ayanlowo.
Oba Oyebola has called on both parties to put an end to their verbal exchanges and work towards an amicable reconciliation.
The intervention comes after Ayankunle accused KWAM 1 of providing inadequate welfare for his band members, a claim that the Fuji musician has refuted.
Addressing journalists at his palace in Iseyin, Oyo State, Oba Oyebola explained that both KWAM 1 and Ayankunle Ayanlowo have strong ties to the Iseyin community, with one being an in-law and the other hailing from Ado-Awaye, a local community under Iseyin Local Government Area.
“I have heard the grievances expressed by Kunle about his experience at work and have also listened to the response from his former boss, Wasiu Ayinde. I urge both parties to prioritize peace. I advised Kunle to refrain from posting videos or abusing his former boss, and I have initiated efforts to reach out to KWAM 1 for a peaceful reconciliation,” the monarch stated.
Ayankunle, corroborating the monarch’s statement, confirmed that he had agreed to cease making confrontational videos or interviews as instructed by the revered monarch.
“They have asked me to refrain from attacking anyone through social media or live interviews, and I have agreed. I want to express my gratitude to those who have supported me throughout this ordeal, and I pray for their continued blessings,” Ayankunle remarked.
The Aseyin of Iseyin emphasized the importance of peace and unity, urging all parties involved to work towards resolving their differences harmoniously.
