An Ibadan-based fuji musician, Prince Olamilekan Ayinde, popularly known as Olu Omo K1 De Ultimate, said that it was unfortunate that many fans of the late fuji musician, Sikiru Ayinde Barrister, misinterpreted a recent historical analysis of the development of fuji music by King Wasiu Ayinde.
The popular and multi-talented fuji musician gave these submissions on Saturday during an exclusive interview with PMParrotng at Lafia Hotel, Apata, Ibadan, where his band played at a society wedding ceremony.
Olamilekan Ayinde, who hails from the same Ijebu-Ode with King Wasiu Ayinde, advised that the analysis by the King of Fuji should not be interpreted as betrayal of the late fuji icon.
According to Olu Omo K1 De Ultimate, the point that the Oluaye of Fuji was trying to establish with the history is that late Barrister was the turning point in the transformation of what was known as were into what is now known as fuji music.
He, however, maintained that the contribution of King Wasiu Ayinde to the development of Fuji music cannot be over-emphasized, saying that K1 De Ultimate is the person who made fuji music acceptable across the globe.
Speaking on his own musical career, Ayinde, who started his professional career in the year 2000, revealed that his first album titled “No place like home” did well in the market, and that another album would be released later in this year.
