How K1 Maltreated Me – Former Drummer
K1 De Ultimate’s former drummer, Kunle Ayanlowo has made damning accusations against the revered Fuji music icon.
Ayanlowo’s allegations against his former boss include maltreatment and the confiscation of passports.
In video clip, which has gone viral, he claimed to have been part of K1’s ensemble for 32 years, and unveiled a pattern of alleged abuse and control exerted by the musician during their collaboration.
He has brought to light the purported practice of K1 seizing passports from band members during trips, leaving them exposed and subject to his whims for undisclosed reasons.
Ayanlowo recounted distressing incidents, including one where he was purportedly instructed to return home while en route to urgent medical care, shedding light on the harsh realities faced by those in K1’s orbit.
He has attributed the stress and anguish of such encounters to the onset of an ulcer, underscoring the enduring impact of his time spent with K1.
Despite his long-standing dedication and contributions to the Fuji music scene, Ayanlowo has expressed disillusionment over the lack of tangible benefits for himself and his family during his tenure with K1.
These allegations have reverberated throughout the music industry and among fans, sparking a deeper examination of K1’s treatment of his band members and the broader power dynamics within his musical domain.
In response, a source close to K1 disclosed that Ayanlowo had repeatedly offended the musician, leading to his eventual punishment.
The source explained that K1 would not dignify the trending video with a response, suggesting that Ayanlowo’s actions were catching up with him after being pardoned numerous times.
K1’s manager, Kunle Rasheed, declined to engage with the allegations directly, stating, “I don’t want to react to that because it would appear like wrestling with the pig. His actions are haunting him. We don’t want to dignify him with any response.”
As public scrutiny intensifies, social media platforms have become battlegrounds for discussions on K1 De Ultimate’s treatment of his band members, causing a rift among his fan base.

The Nigerian film industry, Nollywood, has been plunged into mourning yet again with the untimely demise of veteran actor Zulu Adigwe.
The sad news spread rapidly across social media platforms on Tuesday, as fans and colleagues alike expressed their shock and sorrow.
The passing of Adigwe was confirmed by prominent movie producer Stanley Nwoko, who took to Instagram to share the heartbreaking news.
In a poignant post, Nwoko bid farewell to the talented actor, writing, “Rest in peace, good actor.”
This tragic loss strikes the industry only two weeks after the devastating boat accident in Anam River, which claimed the lives of Junior Pope and three other Nollywood actors.
The actors were reportedly en route to a filming location when the tragic incident occurred.
Adigwe, renowned for his portrayal of fatherly figures in Nollywood productions, achieved acclaim for his memorable roles. Notably, he rose to prominence as Mr. B in the beloved sitcom “Basi and Company.”
Additionally, his presence graced the successful 2019 film “Living in Bondage: Breaking Free.”
While originally from Enugu State and spending his formative years there, Adigwe later relocated to Austria, where he completed his primary and secondary education.
Nigerian singer, Ric Hassani has shared his thoughts on the Afrobeats musical style.
He claims that over time, Afrobeats music has become significantly worse in quality.
He is of the view that the popular songs of today are “not very good music,” insisting that the hits of the past were excellent songs.
Recently, Hassani was featured on the Channels TV show Rubbin’ Minds with Ebuka.
He said, “Afrobeats is Nigerian music. Our guys are top 10 and I feel like because of that the quality of music might stop dropping because more people want to get in. So the quality is really dropping.
“Back in the days, hit songs were serious music but now almost anybody is just coming in. Most of the hit songs in Nigeria now are not very good music. Back in the days it wasn’t like this. I feel like because we have been number one for so long, everybody is just dropping whatever they like and throwing money behind it.”
