The Fuji star also responded to claims that he was not from the ruling family.
According to the singer, the late Awujale would not have crowned him the head of all princes of Ijebu land (Olori Omoba) if he was not from a ruling house.
He also called on the spirit of the late Awujale Oba Sikiru Kayọde Adetona to rise and reveal what is hidden.
Recall that the singer made his intention to ascend the ancestral stool known in a letter addressed to the Fusengbuwa Ruling House on Wednesday, December 3, 2025.
The 68-year-old, who traced his eligibility to his royal lineage of the Jadiara line of the Fusengbuwa Ruling House in Agunsebi Quarters, cited his 50 years of cultural advocacy through his music.

Legit.ng also reported that the Ijebu-Ode royal family took a firm stance on KWAM's intention.
According to Abdulateef Owoyemi, chairman of the Fusengbuwa ruling house, declaring interest in the throne was only the first step. Every aspirant must complete a royal lineage data form detailing at least seven generations of ancestry.
He noted that only those who successfully establish verifiable royal roots will be considered.
