Kwam1 Accuses Kollington of Betrayal Over Mother’s Burial

Veteran Nigerian Fuji musician, Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, popularly known as Kwam1, has publicly criticized his longtime mentor, Ayinla Kollington, for failing to offer support during his time of grief.

Kwam1 Accuses Kollington of Betrayal Over Mother’s Burial

Kwam1 lost his mother on January 18, 2025, and buried her that same day in line with Islamic customs. Despite the magnitude of his loss, the Fuji icon claims Kollington neither called nor showed up to pay condolences.

Kwam1 Recalls Support He Gave Kollington

During a recent interview, Kwam1 expressed deep disappointment over the situation. He reminded fans of how he personally supported Kollington during the burial of his mother years ago.

“I was there when Alhaji Kollington lost his mother,” Kwam1 stated. “I didn’t just show up—I handled all the expenses. I invited top dignitaries, including governors, and made sure his mother got a befitting burial.”

Betrayal From a Mentor

Kwam1 said the silence from someone he once looked up to feels like betrayal.

“Look at how he treated me in return,” he lamented. “He was in Nigeria, healthy and available, but he didn’t show up. His excuse? That he called and I didn’t pick. Is that enough reason not to reach out again?”

Fans React to Fuji Royalty Rift

This unexpected fallout between two legends has sparked mixed reactions among fans and within the Fuji music community. Many see Kwam1’s statement as a bold move, considering his history with Kollington spans decades.

Some fans have expressed shock, while others are calling for reconciliation between the music icons who helped shape the Fuji genre.

The Road Ahead

With emotions still raw and Kwam1 openly voicing his frustration, the future of their relationship remains uncertain. Whether this rift will heal or widen further is yet to be seen. For now, one thing is clear: even legends aren’t immune to personal disappointment.
