The Digest:

The quest of Fuji music icon Otunba Wasiu Ayinde Marshal (KWAM1) to become the next Awujale of Ijebu-Ode has been publicly halted after the Jadiara Royal House, a key lineage within the ruling Fusengbuwa family, disowned him, stating there is no genealogical link between the musician and the throne.

Key Points:
  • The Jadiara Royal House issued a statement expressly disowning KWAM1’s royal claims
  • Family head Otunba Prince Akinola Odedina said there is no oral, written, or historical link
  • The statement was sent to the Ogun State government and chieftaincy affairs officials
  • KWAM1 had reportedly been given a nomination form by the Fusengbuwa ruling house
  • The Jadiara House urged the family chairman to cease dealings with the musician
  • Odedina stated that KWAM1 never presented documents to prove his lineage
  • The family pledged to update the public as the situation develops
Thrones, like trees, grow from roots that run deep, not from fame alone. This moment reveals how heritage can become a gatekeeper, reminding us that not every public ambition finds a home in private lineage.
