‘KWAM 1 is not dating my daughter ‘ – Pasuma dispels rumours

Fuji star Wasiu Alabi, popularly known as Pasuma, has denied reports that he and Fuji legend Wasiu Ayinde Marshall, aka KWAM 1 are no longer on talking terms.

According to a statement released by his management, rumours of a rift might have started when Pasuma dropped the ‘Arabambi’ title from his name.

Pasuma recently publicly announced he would be dropping the moniker, adopting the new name ‘Oganla’.

‘I have my reasons for leaving Arabambi to create my own identity. let me start by explaining the word Oganla to you. We have all been created by God and have our purpose on earth. At every point in our lives we are expected to achieve certain things and no matter how reluctant you are you will surely do according to God’s will. Oganla mean [sic] boss of all bosses’, Pasuma said.

‘I remain loyal to K1 and the rumour is to create a misunderstanding between us but that will not happen because we are matured enough to handle it‘ he added

It has also been rumoured that KWAM 1 is having an affair with Pasuma’s daughter Wasilat, which Pasuma’s manager also denied.

‘This is the funniest thing I have ever heard in my life. Yeah, he has moved on to create his own identity but can’t believe people can be so shallow minded to insinuate issues like this. It’s an insult to K1 and Pasuma. Why on earth would anyone even bring his daughter into this issue?’, said Afolabi Oyekoya

Meanwhile, Shokishombolo.blogspot.com sources say K1 is beyond upset at the reports and may be considering pressing charges against some newspapers and magazines which published the news.
