Wasiu ‘KWAM 1′ Ayinde and Kollington Ayinla, two legendary Fuji musicians, appear to have finally settled their long-standing rift.
In a now-viral video, Kollington is seen praising KWAM 1 in Yoruba after receiving cash and rams sent to his residence ahead of Eid-el-Kabir.
He is also heard making a phone call to the Fuji star, where he offered prayers and expressed gratitude for the gesture.
“He sent rams to Kollington/ He also put money in my pockets/ Can you all see Wasiu/ You too will grow old/ Come and see what Ayinde did/ He sent rams from Ijebu Ode to Kollington/ From Ijebu Ode to his father/ You too will grow old,” he sings.
The exchange has surprised many fans, who believed both music icons were still not on good terms.
In 2025, KWAM 1 spoke about their strained relationship, expressing disappointment that Kollington did not reach out after the death of his mother.
“What I said about Alhaji Kollington was not an insult to him. It was my right to say your mother died and I supported you. How do you feel about not talking to me that ‘Wasiu, sorry for the loss of your mother. Here is my condolences. I want to see who would come to me and say what I am angry about is not worth it,” he said.
“And the flimsy excuse you gave was that you called me, but I did not pick up your call. You did not call me when your mother died. You practically told me as I stood by Sikiru when he lost his mother I should do the same for you.”
Kollington is regarded as one of the pioneers of Fuji music in Nigeria, alongside the late Ayinde Barrister, both of whom played key roles in shaping the genre from the 1970s through the 1990s.
KWAM 1, meanwhile, has enjoyed a career spanning over five decades and remains one of Nigeria’s most influential Fuji artistes with multiple awards and widespread recognition.
