K1s lead drummer, Ayankunle Ayanlowo
K1’s lead talking drummer, Ayankunle Ayanlowo, has recently listed some conditions for peace to reign between him and fuji czar, King Wasiu Ayinde, the Mayegun of Yorubaland.
The fight between the musician and his drummer became a national issue when the drummer accusedK1 of not providing proper welfare for his band members, an allegation the musician vehemently denies.
At his home in Felele, Ibadan in a private chat, the drummer in his request stated ‘I want them to settle our fight. I want people to call us together, he(Wasiu) should be God-fearing and state his part, while I should also be present to speak my mind. The elders should step in, but God knows, I can never go back to him’.
When asked why he vowed never to go back, Ayanlowo replied, ‘he is vindictive, he never forgives and I’ve placed everything in the hands of God. I can never go back to the band”.
The lead drummer while confirming that some cleric leaders and traditional rulers have waded into the matter also said ‘part of my condition is that at any location they pick for the peace meeting, if anything hapens to me, I would hold the people that call for the meeting responsible and they’ve assured me nothing of sort would happen”.
‘I’ve worked with him for 32 years and now I want to be on my own, I’ve tried! They should just leave me in peace’, he begged. (Saturday Tribune)
