Ayinla Kollington Declares Himself the King of Fuji Music, Dismisses Rivalry with K1 de Ultimate

Veteran fuji musician Ayinla Kollington has boldly declared himself the undisputed king of fuji music, dismissing any rivals, including his counterpart Wasiu Ayinde, aka K1 de Ultimate, in a candid interview on Agbaletu TV.

In the interview, Kollington, a pioneer of fuji music, didn’t mince words about his place in the genre. He emphasized his status as the unquestionable authority of fuji music, both in Nigeria and abroad. When asked about the ongoing discussions surrounding the leadership in the fuji industry, he made it clear: "When they ask who is the head of fuji music, both here and abroad, it is my name that will be mentioned."

Kollington also addressed the controversial issue of not attending the burial of K1 de Ultimate’s mother. He revealed that despite repeated attempts to reach out to K1, his calls went unanswered, leading him to step back. He went further to assert that even if K1 claims to be the head of the "princes" of fuji, it’s a title for his hometown and doesn’t extend to the fuji industry, which, according to Kollington, he reigns over.

🎶 The King of Fuji Speaks

Kollington’s statements reflect the tension that occasionally simmers beneath the surface of Nigeria’s fuji music scene. While K1 de Ultimate enjoys significant recognition both in Nigeria and internationally, Kollington’s claim to be the true “number one” in the industry is a statement rooted in years of experience, artistry, and contributions to fuji music. His declaration is a clear call to those who doubt his impact, reminding them of his unmatched legacy.

🗣️ Opinion

In a genre as rich and influential as fuji music, it’s not surprising that legends like Kollington and K1 de Ultimate might clash over leadership. The fuji industry is not just about music; it's about identity, legacy, and respect. Both artists have contributed immensely to the evolution of fuji, but Kollington’s recent statements are a reminder of the fierce pride and ownership musicians feel over their art.

However, competition within the industry doesn’t have to mean division. While Kollington’s claim of being the uncontested authority may rub some the wrong way, it speaks to the passion and commitment that he continues to have for fuji music. In the end, fuji music has flourished because of the contributions of both Kollington and K1 de Ultimate, and the audience remains the ultimate judge of who truly reigns supreme.

💬 What are your thoughts on Kollington’s bold statements? Do you think one artist can truly claim to be the "king" of fuji, or is it about the collective contribution of all the legends in the genre?
