Addressing the audience during the event, Bajowa acknowledged that his perception of Boye Best had evolved.
“People told me that Boye Best is a good person and today I have confirmed,” he said.
He also revealed that their reconciliation would go beyond words.
“We are going to do an official collaboration of Iwo Ko Lodami,” he added.
How their disagreement started
The now-resolved conflict began after Bajowa accused Boye Best of performing and sharing the song for over five years without permission or proper credit.
In an Instagram post, Goke Bajowa claimed that Boye Best had used Iwo Ko Lodami in a promotional video linked to what appeared to be an album launch, allegedly giving fans the impression that he owned the track.
Responding to the accusations at the time, Boye Best denied any wrongdoing.
He explained that the controversial promotional video was created by a lounge manager in Ikeja who had invited him to host an event.
According to him, the manager misrepresented the event as his album launch and included a clip of him performing the song without his knowledge.
