K1 De Ultimate Defends Royal Lineage, Says He Deserves To Contest For Awujale Stool

Fuji music legend Wasiu Ayinde, popularly known as K1 De Ultimate, has defended his royal heritage and dismissed criticisms over his bid to become the next Awujale of Ijebuland. Speaking during a stage performance on Sunday, K1 insisted that pursuing the vacant throne is his rightful claim. A video of the performance, now viral and reviewed by Tribune Online, shows the musician invoking the spirit of the late Awujale, Oba Sikiru Adetona, urging him to clarify the controversy surrounding his ancestry. K1 said debates about his lineage intensified after he announced his intention to contest for the highly respected stool. He referenced titles previously conferred on him by the late monarch, including Olori Omo-Oba Akile Ijebu, a designation for leaders among Ijebuland princes, stressing that Oba Adetona was fair and not covetous, and that the honours were genuinely earned. He stated, “I am from the fidipotemole in Ijebu Ode, and also from the Fusegbunwa of Ijebu-Ode. If my lineage is being questioned now, we will meet at Popo. If it is about the kingship I am contesting for, it is my right; no one can silence me. “Late Kabiesi Awujale, Oba Adetona, was of sound mind when he gave me the title of Olori Omo-Oba. If I were not of royal blood, it wouldn’t have been possible. Awujale is not covetous; I therefore call on your spirit to reveal the truth to the people, as some are trying to hide it.” Popo, which K1 referenced, is a historic site near the Awujale’s palace in Ijebu-Ode, closely linked to the kingdom’s founding families.

VeryDarkMan Calls Out Harrison Gwamnishu Over N5 Million Fake Ransom Money With Tracking Chips, Warns Of Life Imprisonment

VeryDarkMan has reacted strongly to claims by Harrison Gwamnishu’s lawyer that N5.4 million ransom money was swapped with fake bills embedded with tracking chips. In a new video, VeryDarkMan dismissed the explanation as misleading. He pointed out that counterfeit money is always lighter than genuine notes, questioning how Harrison could have obtained fake currency worth N5.4 million. “Did they print their own money?” he asked, highlighting that producing counterfeit currency is a serious crime in Nigeria and worldwide, punishable by life imprisonment. He also explained that inserting a tracking chip into 5,400 individual 1,000-naira notes would take a significant amount of time, making the lawyer’s story implausible. VeryDarkMan added that Harrison will need to disclose the source of the alleged fake money, or he could face life in prison. “Before a chip can be inserted into 5,400 notes, it will take a lot of time. I am waiting for him to come out and tell the world the truth,” he said, insisting that the public deserves transparency on the matter. VeryDarkMan maintained that his actions were motivated by a commitment to justice, not personal rivalry, and accused Harrison of trying to manipulate public opinion with misleading explanations.   View this post on Instagram

Lagos Chief Fires Shot At K1 De Ultimate, Says Fuji Star Has No Right To Awujale Throne

A Lagos community leader, Balogun Eko, has disputed Fuji legend K1 De Ultimate’s bid for the Awujale throne of Ijebuland, insisting the singer lacks the necessary royal ties and roots in the region. Balogun Eko pointed out that K1’s parents lived outside Ijebuland, making him ineligible to ascend the throne despite K1 claiming affiliation with the Fusengbuwa ruling house. He challenged the Fuji star to substantiate his Ijebu heritage, asking him either to identify his father’s burial site in Ijebuland or present at least six relatives from Ijebu-Ode or other parts of the region. Balogun Eko also alleged that K1 attempted to involve President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in his quest but was rebuffed, which reportedly contributed to tensions during the ValueJet incident. Speaking publicly, Balogun Eko said: “Alhaji Wasiu Ayinde, you’re already the king of Fuji by default, so don’t be selfish. You can’t become Awujale. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has already told you to let it go – you can’t be the king of Ijebuland. That’s why you got upset at the airport, trying to stop the plane just because you didn’t like his response. People of Ijebu are afraid of you; they don’t know how to tell you they don’t want you as king. “Of the four lineages entitled to the throne, you’re not related to any. My uncle, who knew you as a child, said that whenever your parents had issues, your mother would come to his place before the situation worsened. When your mother started selling clothes, your parents reconciled, after your father followed her to Ilepeju Ekiti – where he later died and was buried. “The people of Ijebu are clear: you must either point to your father’s burial ground in Ijebuland or bring at least six relatives from Ijebu-Ode or anywhere in Ijebuland. Don’t create trouble, because peace exists elsewhere – that’s where you seem to want to cause problems.”   View this post on Instagram

Shola Allyson Clarifies She’s Just A Singer, Not A Gospel Artist

Shola Allyson has set the record straight about her music, stressing that she does not identify as a gospel singer but simply as an artist inspired by her personal beliefs. In a conversation with Oyinmomo TV, she explained, “I’m not a religious singer… My name is Shola Allyson. I’m a singer.” She further addressed critics who expect her songs to explicitly mention Jesus, clarifying that her music is not intended as a public declaration of faith. “Jesus didn’t instruct us to mention His name in songs, nor did He ask us to do PR for Him,” she said. Allyson also opened up about her personal life, revealing that her marriage has been far from easy. Though legally married to Toyin Obaniyi since 2003, the couple lives separately and shares three children. “Marriage has been a big challenge. I hear people talk about joy in marriage, but I have never experienced it,” she admitted. “I can do anything for a man as long as he does not maltreat me.”

OAP Toolz Slams Man Who Criticized Late Junior Pope’s Widow For “Moving On” After One Year

Nigerian OAP Toolz has defended Late Junior Pope’s widow, Jennifer Awele, after a man criticized her for “moving on” just a year after her husband’s passing. The debate erupted online following a video that showed Jennifer alongside actress Mercy Johnson, both flaunting their curves in fitted dresses. A social media user reacted, saying: “She’s looking so stunning, casually handling an iPhone 17 Pro Max, and looking like she’s already moved on, barely 1 year after losing her husband and bearing the burden of raising three kid-boys. Dear men, do whatever you can not to die young, especially after newly marrying.” Toolz quickly responded, calling out the double standard. She wrote: “‘Barely a year’ is actually 20 months. She should lock herself away and mourn forever? When it wouldn’t be unusual in this country for a man to have another wife within the same one year.” Her response sparked conversations about the societal expectations placed on widows. Many argued that Jennifer’s confidence and presence in public does not negate her grief or the love she had for her late husband. Toolz’s defense highlighted the unfair scrutiny women often face when trying to move forward after loss, especially in contrast to men who can remarry without judgment. Jennifer continues to honor her late husband while raising their three children, showing that moving forward does not mean forgetting.
