The viral video showed the moment the Fuji singer bowed to greet the king, who reciprocated with a handshake before the two went on to converse in low tones.
While the details of the conversation were unknown, social media users read meanings into the video as they shared their observations.
KWAM 1's recent meeting with the Alaafin comes amid his interest in becoming the next Awujale of Ijebu in Ogun State, which has sparked controversy.

The suit, filed on December 16, sought an injunction restraining the Ogun State government and key traditional authorities from proceeding with the selection and installation of the next Awujale pending the determination of substantive issues raised before the court.
