Wasiu Ayinde and His Manager Percy Ademokun Part Ways

2222


It sounds so much like tales by moonlight, but the sad truth hitting our news desk this afternoon  is that the so much celebrated working relationship and partnership between Fuji Lord, Alhaji, Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, famously addressed as K1 and his manager, Percy Ademokun, popularly called Ipacom, has hit the rock.

Although we are yet to get all the details but as at the time if filing in this exclusive report, the insider rat who dropped the topic at this gist hangout told us that the working relationship which has lasted several years ended because Percy, as a no-nonsense person, could not take Alhaji’s excesses, which includes his adamancy and bossy behavior. 

Yes, the lion was divinely crowned but give it to Percy Ibikunle Ademokun, the band manager and foreman of King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, he has been with King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal from Barrister to Marshal, from KWAM1 to K1! He is seemingly the architect of the well oiled and media friendly team of K1. Percy loves K1 organisation like a mother hen, his loyalty then was as constant as a northern star. But then, the adage holds sway, that 7 Kings and 7 seasons, Percy definitely cannot be with K1 forever.

Percy dropped his resignation letter on Sunday, March 9 just after the wedding of K1′s daughter. Well, it wasn’t that easy as you may think, let us break down the schisms:

Then, whenever you hear Sir Shina Peters, K1s name is next! K1 and Sir Shina Peters are known as Siamese twins in the corporate world! Suddenly, the twin cord was broken by the corporate organisations due to K1s preference and toga as an APC musician. KI was not particularly pleased about that. The corporate world now emphatically prefers Sir Shina Peters and the junior Fuji musicians to his band. KI complained to Percy, Percy knew you cannot eat your cake and have it!

K1 wholesale adoption of political patronage damaged the bands corporate appeal. Until last year when Percy pulled a masterstroke with K1 invitation to the Masters nite show and Headies, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal was almost nil in the corporate world unlike before. Remember the Benson and Hedges shows.
Percy was not particularly pleased with K1s wanton toga of an APC musician. Though the money and political patronage was good, Percy as a professional knew the dangers inherent in riding a tiger and the apparent flaws in political jingoism.

Known to many, Percys family are domiciled abroad, and there comes a time in a mans life when the chicken must come home to roost. Percy must move on at a point.

In addition, Percy made it real good from the band. He is unarguably a multi millionaire with one or two properties in Lagos and firm investments. He is a shrewd entrepreneur. He cannot therefore be a foreman forever.

Percy Ademokun is the beacon behind K1. KI is the capstone. Percys absence is already causing jitters in the media. Unlike before, we now read negative reports on and about King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall. This was not possible during the kingly reign of his royal highness, Percy Ademokun Esq.
