A decades-long feud between Fuji music legends Kollington Ayinla and K1 De Ultimate has resurfaced, with Ayinla revealing the true reason behind their rift.
In a trending old video circulating online, Ayinla opened up about the incident that led to their estrangement.
According to Ayinla, the rift began after he reached out to K1 De Ultimate to offer condolences following the death of his daughter. However, instead of receiving a warm response, Ayinla claimed that K1 De Ultimate treated him with disdain and subtle public ridicule. “When his daughter died, I texted him and console him,” he said.
Ayinla recounted how they both attended an event, and K1 De Ultimate walked past him without acknowledging him. When Ayinla sent someone to call K1 De Ultimate, he returned reluctantly and greeted Ayinla grudgingly. “Later, we both attended an event, and when he arrived, he walked right past me. I assumed he didn’t see me, so I sent someone to call him. He came back reluctantly. I greeted him, but he answered grudgingly. I was amazed, but I kept my cool.”

The situation escalated when K1 De Ultimate mounted the stage and paid homage to every notable Fuji artist present, including younger stars like Pasuma and Saheed Osupa, while intentionally ignoring Ayinla.
For Ayinla, this incident sealed their rift. He believes that K1 De Ultimate’s actions were motivated by a desire to prove that he pioneered Fuji music, and that Ayinla is seen as competition. Ayinla, however, maintains that the foundation of Fuji music was laid before K1 De Ultimate’s rise to fame.
He stated: “That’s when I knew he meant what he once said that he pioneered Fuji music. Maybe he sees me as competition now, but the truth is the foundation was already laid before he came in.”
