Nigerian artiste, Portable, has issued a warning to Kunle Ayanlowo, the former drummer of Wasiu Ayinde, the popular Fuji musician known as K1 de Ultimate.
Recall that Ayanlowo appeared in a widely circulated video, leveling accusations against K1, alleging mistreatment of his staff and describing their treatment as akin to “slavery”.
He further claimed to have made no significant achievements during his more than three-decade tenure with the singer.
Responding to Ayanlowo’s claims in his own video, Portable raised questions regarding the drummer’s prolonged association with K1 if he genuinely felt unproductive.
Portable questioned why Ayanlowo remained in his position for over 30 years if he felt his contributions were negligible.
Portable cautioned Ayanlowo against tarnishing K1’s reputation, emphasizing the need to acknowledge the singer’s positive reputation.
He urged Ayanlowo to consider the significance of his continued employment with K1 and advised him to refrain from damaging the singer’s reputation.
Portable declared K1’s status as a prominent figure in the industry and questioned Ayanlowo’s loyalty and gratitude, suggesting that his criticisms lacked appreciation for the opportunities afforded to him.
He also referenced instances of musicians absconding abroad, implying the necessity of understanding the consequences of one’s actions and refraining from damaging K1’s character.
