What Kwam1 says about Ayankunle's allegations

During his interview with Legit.ng, Kwam1 replied Ayankunle, calling him greedy, pretentious and ungrateful. He noted that Ayanlowo loves money too much.

K1 de Ultimate also revealed why he usually seizes the passports of his band members whenever they travel abroad.

He noted that several times, his former band members took it as an opportunity to "japa" whenever they travelled for gigs.

The veteran Fuji artist further averred that running a band isn't as easy as people make it seem, and he has been running it for 52 years, which makes it impossible not to have issues with some members at some point. He noted that he runs his band as a company, and as the boss, he can hire and fire any erring staff.

Kwam 1 noted that Ayankunle has left the band several times, with the last one being his seventh time. He emphasised that he does not forbid any band member who had left the group from returning even after working elsewhere because he also offends God, and his sins are forgiven.

However, Kwam1, during the interview, issued a warning, noting that if Ayankunle likes, he goes or stays, that will not stop him from singing nor ruin his legacy.

How long has the oldest band member stayed

During the interview, Kwam1 noted that the longest-serving band member has been with him for over 40 years.
