KWAM1 reacts as former employee accuses him of treating staff like slaves

Kunle Ayanlowo, one of the drummers of maestro Fuji singer, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, otherwise known as KWAM1, has opened up on his time working with him.

He alleged that the Fuji singer always seized their passports anytime they traveled and returned to Nigeria.

Ayanlowo narrated how Kwam1 ordered him to return home when he ran into him on the road while he was on the way to the hospital for treatment of ulcer, which he has been suffering for a while. He, therefore, told Nigerians to hold Kwam1 accountable should anything happen to him.

He added that he worked with KWAM1 for 32 years and in all those years, he has achieved nothing as he lived in fear throughout his time with him. He noted that people only see his good side, but don’t know who he really is behind the scenes.

“Alhaji Wasiu Ayinde used to seize and hold on to our passports whenever we traveled and returned to Nigeria. It is my right as a Nigerian to have my passport with me.

“He has over three of my passports with him. One day, someone was taking me to the hospital for treatment, Alhaji met us on the road, he ordered me to get down from the car and go back home.

“I was having intense stomach pain. Till today, I am still nursing the ulcer. If anything bad should happen to me, I will hold him accountable.

“I was with him for 32 years and I achieved nothing. I lived in fear throughout my time with him. People only see him as a good person outside, you don’t know who he really is.

“Musicians working for Wasiu Ayinde are treated as slaves, nobody becomes successful when they work with Wasiu Ayinde.”

Reacting to the report, KWAM1 stated that he had been the one to support Kunle when he had nothing and cautioned against associating with dishonesty, asserting it brings no benefit.

In his words, “Lairs and naysayers get away from me, stop lying. Trying to damage the reputation that raised you when you were a nobody. Disassociate from liars, you have nothing to gain from them”.
