Fuji music star, Saheed Osupa, may have taken a bold step that may finally put an end to the age-long feud between him and his boss, Wasiu Ayinde, otherwise known as K1 De Ultimate as he paid a courtesy visit on the Fuji music king at his Ijebu Ode home in Ogun State.
For years, there had been a lingering feud between the two Fuji music acts. Their rivalry had fuelled endless debates among their fans, with each camp defending its favourite artiste. The tension escalated to a point where it seemed like a war of words, leaving the music-loving community divided.
But recent happenings in the Fuji music circles seem to be yielding positive results among some of the top acts including K1, Osupa, Pasuma and Malaika as they have decided to move away from the conflict that had pitched them against one another for more than a decade.
It was gathered by R that the death of Pasuma’s mother, Alhaja Khadijat Odetola, some weeks back initiated the peace moves among the Fuji music stars with some of them sending condolence messages to the singer as they reportedly expressed their desire to give peace a chance and put an end to the long-time rivalry at the burial ceremony.
Speculation ran rife about the purpose of this visit. Some of their fans were skeptical, thinking it might be a publicity stunt, while others hoped it would bring an end to the rivalry.
Speaking about his visit to K1, Osupa debunked the insinuations suggesting that the visit was a publicity stunt, saying he remained committed to peace, unity and progress of the Fuji music industry and its practitioners, adding that paying homage to K1 at his residence should remind their fans that love has come to stay.
Osupa was warmly received by K1, and they embraced, setting the tone for the reconciliation.
Together, they entered K1’s residence and their conversation was filled with honesty and humility. They acknowledged the role their rivalry had played in dividing their fans and vowed to put an end to it.
As a gesture of goodwill, K1 De Ultimate initiated a prayer session, saying the time has come to put an end to their differences and embrace peace. He praised Osupa for visiting him, saying “As you have paid homage to me, you will also be honoured by many people around you.”
According to him, “when people give honour to their leader, they will also be honoured by God. I honoured Mr Fuji (Ayinde Barrister) during his lifetime and even in death, which is why I have continued to enjoy God’s grace. Let me tell you that from the depth of my heart, I feel proud of your visit and I am sure that God will also elevate you.”
