In a candid and emotionally charged interview with Agbaletu TV, veteran Fuji maestro King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, popularly known as K1 De Ultimate, expressed his deep disappointment over what he described as a painful betrayal by fellow music legend Alhaji Kollington Ayinla. K1 revealed that Ayinla failed to attend the burial ceremony of his mother, an absence he says cut deeply given their shared history and his past support during Kollington's own time of grief.

While speaking during the interview, K1 recounted how he had not only stood by Kollington when the latter lost his mother but had taken full responsibility for ensuring she received a dignified send-off. He explained that he financed the entire burial and mobilized an impressive array of high-profile dignitaries to honor the occasion. According to K1, his actions were motivated by a sense of loyalty, respect, and long-standing friendship.

“I am so angry with Alhaji Kollington because he never showed up to offer his condolences when I lost my mum,” K1 said. “When his own mother passed away, I supported him fully. I brought a lot of dignitaries to the burial and handled all the expenses myself. See how he paid me back.”

K1's tone during the interview was a mixture of anger and sorrow, as he tried to come to terms with what he described as an unexpected show of disregard. What added to his confusion, he said, was that Kollington is currently in good health and residing in Nigeria. K1 questioned the sincerity of Kollington’s explanation—that he had attempted to call but was unable to get through.

“He is in Nigeria, hale and hearty, and the only excuse he gave was that he called me and I didn’t pick up. Am I not supposed to be angry?” K1 asked rhetorically, visibly emotional.

The singer went on to express that the incident has made him reevaluate the depth of their relationship and the values they supposedly shared. He lamented that despite the many years of camaraderie and mutual respect, this moment of grief had shown him a side of Kollington he hadn’t anticipated.

“This is someone I considered a brother,” K1 added. “Moments like this make you reflect on who’s truly there for you when it matters most.”

K1’s reflections have sparked a wave of reactions online, with fans and fellow musicians weighing in on the situation. The interview has since gone viral, drawing sympathy for K1 and raising questions about loyalty, gratitude, and relationships within the music industry.
