The Aseyin of Iseyin, Oba Sefiu Olawale Oyebola Ajirotutu Adeyeri 111, has stepped in to address the ongoing conflict between King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall (KWAM 1) and his former lead drummer, Ayankunle Ayanlowo, urging them to resolve their differences amicably.
In a meeting at the Iseyin palace on Monday, the monarch called for peace and reconciliation between the two parties. Ayankunle had raised concerns about the welfare of band members under KWAM 1, which the musician refuted.
Aseyin emphasised the strong ties that both KWAM 1 and Ayankunle have with Iseyin, as one is an in-law and the other hails from Ado-Awaye, a community in Iseyin local government. He expressed his commitment to facilitating a peaceful resolution to the dispute.
“I have heard what Kunle said about his experience at his work and also listened to the video made by his former boss, Alhaji Wasiu Ayinde, all I will say is that both of them should allow peace to reign, I told Kunle to stop posting videos, abusing his former boss and has started efforts to reach out to K1 to speak with him and ask for peaceful reconciliation.
“I have read and listened to many angles to the issue from individuals taking sides, but as a monarch, I will want peace and not for this to continue,” Aseyin mentioned.
Following the meeting, Ayankunle agreed to refrain from posting confrontational videos or interviews and expressed gratitude to those who supported him during the ordeal.
“They said I should not attack anyone anymore through social media or live interviews and I have agreed with the monarch, I just want to start by appreciating all those that stood with me during my travail till now, those that heard my voice and have supported me morally, spiritually and financially.
“I pray that the Lord Almighty will not abandon them all, their children will never suffer in their effort to seek for survival,” Ayanlowo prayed.
