Wasiu ‘KWAM 1′ Ayinde and Kollington Ayinla, the two iconic Fuji musicians, appear to have finally resolved their longtime rift.
In a now-viral video, Kollington is seen praising KWAM 1 in
Yoruba for sending cash and rams to his home ahead of Eid-el-Kabir.
He also appears to place a phone call to the fellow Fuji
star, offering prayers and gratitude for the generous gesture.
“He sent rams to Kollington/ He also put money in my
pockets/ Can you all see Wasiu/ You too will grow old/ Come and see what Ayinde
did/ He sent rams from Ijebu Ode to Kollington/ From Ijebu Ode to his father/
You too will grow old,” he sings.

The warm exchange has come as a surprise to many who
believed the two music legends were still at odds.
In 2025, KWAM 1 addressed their strained relationship,
expressing disappointment that Kollington had failed to offer condolences after
the death of his mother.
“What I said about Alhaji Kollington was not an insult to
him. It was my right to say your mother died and I supported you. How do you
feel about not talking to me that ‘Wasiu, sorry for the loss of your mother.
Here is my condolences. I want to see who would come to me and say what I am
angry about is not worth it,” he said.
“And the flimsy excuse you gave was that you called me, but
I did not pick up your call. You did not call me when your mother died. You
practically told me as I stood by Sikiru when he lost his mother I should do
the same for you.”
Kollington is widely regarded as one of the pioneers of the
Fuji genre in Nigeria. He is ranked alongside his friend and rival — the late Ayinde Barrister — as one of the two
most influential artistes who shaped Fuji music from its emergence in the 1970s
through the 1990s.
KWAM 1, on the other hand, has enjoyed a career spanning more than five decades, remaining a towering figure in Nigerian music with numerous awards and widespread acclaim.
