Veteran Fuji icon, General Ayinla Kollington, has spoken out about the long-standing rumors of a feud with fellow music legend, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal (K1 de Ultimate). Kollington firmly stated that there was never any real conflict between them, despite what people might have speculated.
In a previous interview with Agbaletu TV, K1 suggested that their relationship had soured because Kollington did not visit him during the passing of his mother. However, Kollington, now 71 years old and having survived false rumors of his death in 2024, denied any such grudge. Speaking to Teju Babyface, he affectionately referred to K1 as his “son,” emphasizing that their bond transcended material wealth or fame.
“I often hear rumors about a supposed fight between K1 and me. How can I be fighting with my own son?” Kollington responded. “Even if he has more wealth than I do, I am still his father.”
Kollington also shared an emotional story about the moment that ended his long-standing rivalry with the late Fuji pioneer, Dr. Sikiru Ayinde Barrister. According to Kollington, it was K1 who played a key role in mending the relationship after Barrister’s mother passed away.
“When things were tense between Barrister and me, K1 called me after Barrister’s mother died. He said, ‘Have you called your friend yet?’ I admitted I hadn’t because of our feud,” Kollington recalled. “He urged me to call him, reminding me that when my mother passed, Barrister brought a huge cow as a gesture of support.”
This phone call set the stage for a reconciliation. Kollington fondly remembered the moment of peace, saying, “Barrister and I sat under a tree, and I told him, ‘I’ve forgiven you for everything you did.’”
The powerful moment marked the end of their years-long estrangement and was a testament to the power of forgiveness.
