KWAM 1 reunites with estranged drummer

Legit.ng earlier reported that KWAM 1 reunited with his former drummer, Ayankunle Ayanlowo, ending years of tension and public accusations.

The reunion was witnessed during a live performance, with K1 hailing Ayankunle as he returned to the band. Ayanlowo had previously made headlines claiming he spent over three decades with K1 De Ultimate yet “achieved nothing.”

He alleged that band members were treated like slaves, with passports confiscated and strict restrictions on movement. Ayanlowo said he was denied urgent medical care for a longstanding ulcer after K1 reportedly ordered him out of the car en route to a hospital.
