Friday, May 11 is a day never to be forgotten by fuji music lovers as it provided the opportunity they needed to see their two icons – Wasiu Ayinde Marshal K1 and Saheed Akorede Osupa as they unite.
The opportunity for this to happen was provided by one of Africa’s brewing conglomerates, the Nigerian Breweries Plc via one of its products, Goldberg Lager Beer.
The two music stars, according to PMParrot reporter who was live at the event which held at the spacious Trans Amusement Park at Samonda in Ibadan arrived the venue separately at different times but were arranged by the protocol officials to seat together.
The first to arrive was K1 de Ultimate who was ushered in while King Sunny Ade was still on the stage performing live.
Moments after, King Saheed Osupa came into the arena with his retinue of aides and was thus, asked to sit beside K1.
As he approached K1, the attention of the audience was drawn to them because many expected them to shun one another.
This was not the case as they both embraced. This drew a large ovation. They both sat together and this attracted another round of applause from the audience.
The musical show itself which was the grand finale of Ariya Repete 2018 which was used to pick the best fuji, juju and drumming groups in the South West of Nigeria.
In addition to King Sunny Ade, Saheed Osupa and K1, other musicians on parade at the event included Ajobiewe, Taye Currency and Kiss Daniel.
