VETERAN Fuji musician Ayinla Kollington, aka Kebe-n-Kwara, has revealed the reasons behind the postponement of a much-anticipated peaceful meeting of all Fuji musicians.
The 75-year-old singer had earlier called for a reconciliatory meeting aimed at uniting Fuji musicians across the globe. In an unexpected turn of events, the gathering, scheduled for 14 January has been postponed until further notice.
According to the host, Kollington, the venue booked for the meeting was locked due to an ongoing strike at the facility.
“It is with deep regret that I inform you all (Fuji musicians) that the venue initially scheduled to host our peaceful meeting has been locked due to an ongoing strike”, he enthused.
The music icon, who transitioned from military officer to become a successful singer, said “As a result, movement is restricted, and we are unable to proceed as planned.”
He apologised to Fuji practitioners for any inconvenience that the rescheduling might have caused.
While appreciating members for their understanding, Kollington promised to communicate a new date once the venue is cleared for use, probably in February 2025.
For decades, there have usually been conflicts among Fuji artistes. Recently, many A-list musicians engaged in musical feuds with one another. Among artistes who had face-offs with each other including Ibadan-based singer Taye Currency and his mentor, Pasuma over supremacy. Also, Saheed Osupa took a jab at K1 D Ultimate, among others.
