In another twist to the growing public speculation about Fuji music legend and long-time ally of President Bola Tinubu, Alhaji Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, popularly known as K1 De Ultimate, the Jadiara Royal Family has declared that the revered musician has no traceable link to their lineage.
Contrary to insinuations circulating in public discussions, the family, in a statement dated December 7, 2025, and issued in Ijebu-Ode, affirmed that KWAM1 has no genealogical ties to the ruling house, dismissing claims suggesting he could be eligible for Awujale succession.
The statement was signed by the Head of the Jadiara Royal House, Otunba Prince Akinola Odedina, and addressed to key authorities in Ogun State, including the Commissioner for Local Governments and Chieftaincy Affairs, the Attorney-General, the Ijebu-Ode Local Government, and the Awujale Interregnum Administration Council.
In the statement titled “Otunba Wasiu Ayinde Anifowose (MON)”, Odedina explained that it became necessary to release the information about KWAM1’s genealogical linkage with the family in view of the public interest which the matter has generated.
He emphasized that the Jadiara House has no archaeological, documented, or oral historical record linking the Fuji musician to their lineage.

He also pointed out that although the Chairman of the Fusengbuwa Ruling Family may have issued KWAM1 a nomination form as part of the verification process, the musician has not appeared before the family nor presented any documents to prove his ancestry.
According to him, “I can say categorically that Wasiu has no genealogical linkage with the Jadiara Royal House.
“We in Jadiara Royal House have waited for him to show up with his form and whatever documents he may have to prove his linkage to Jadiara Royal House. He is yet to show up.”
Odedina in the statement, however, promised to get the family and the general public informed as the matter continued to unfold.
