Adewale Akanbi Balogun, Popularly called Barry Showkey, claiming the message was recently revealed to him by his late father in a dream.

The controversy between King Waheed Osupa and King Waseeu Ayinde K-1, brewing up as a result of the latest interview granted by King of Music, Saheed Osupa, to BBC News Yoruba where he said King of Fuji Music, Wasiu Ayinde lacks wisdom to lead as he claimed.

Adewale Akanji said the Fuji maestro directed him in his dream to speak to all parties for peace to reign in Fuji industry as a father to all.

In Barry Showkey’s words, “I am not the type that talks on issues that doesn’t concern me, I always mind my business. But, in this case, like a Yoruba adage that says “Ohun to ba Oju; o ti ba Imu”. Meaning that an insult on any member of my family, is an insult on me personally and this is not acceptable. I would have reacted differently based on my emotions but, after the messages my Dad gave me in my dream, my perceptions changed on how to tackle the issue.

“Dr. Sikiru Ayinde Barrister appeared to me in my dream and ordered me to send his message to all Fuji artistes, both at home and diaspora. He said the latest crisis on his daughter (Modina) should be put to end.
“There is more work to do as regards rescuing the hibernating future of Fuji music than dwell on non-issues, any other persons planning to grant any interview to escalate the issue rather than uplifting the image of Fuji will encounter the wrath of God and pay with their career.”
