Nigerian Fuji maestro, Wasiu Ayinde, popularly known as Kwam 1, has addressed growing speculations surrounding his marital status.
PREMIUM TIMES gathered that reports emerged claiming the 68-year-old singer’s estranged wife, Fathia ‘Titi Marshal’ Titilola, had returned to his life and allegedly forced Aderopo Emmanuella out of his home.

The rumours surfaced five months after Kwam 1 reunited with Titi Marshal during his mother’s burial, Halima Anifowoshe, in Ijebu, Ogun State, in January.
Kwam 1 married Titi Marshal at his Ijebu residence in March 2018. He married Emmanuella on 18 November 2021 in a lavish ceremony at the Palace of the Alake of Egbaland, Ake, Abeokuta.

However, the singer dismissed the claims in an interview with journalist Stella Dimoko-Korkus.
He said: “She (Emmanuella) is the only one. I told her, ‘Leave social media, concentrate on your business and let me concentrate; in the end, the joy will be for us.’ I guess maybe she didn’t like it that way. She has every right to her reaction. Unfortunately, I am not getting younger anymore. I am 68 already. Do I need to fool myself?
“Titi Marshall is gone forever, but because she is gone, should I shut my eyes out on the three children she gave birth to for me? I didn’t do anything; I only concentrated on my project. Emmanuella brought this upon herself because I don’t know what she is doing on social media. You are not young anymore, you have two grown-ups at the university, and the third one is about to join them. So, these are the issues we must ponder, not social media things.”

Kwam 1 described the claim that a woman seen dancing to his song in a viral video was his new wife as false and misleading.
The Fuji legend, who said he couldn’t imagine how embarrassed the lady must have felt, added, “Must I marry everyone? The lady is not my wife, and I have not married a new wife. That is it. Stella, I don’t have anything to add. I am into farming; I have farms, which take up my time. I don’t have time for social media squabbling regarding women or something. No, I can’t lie to you. And I promise you I will not speak to anyone else about this.
“I don’t have any intentions. What is ahead of me is more than marriage, marriage, marriage! I will send you some of the projects I am doing here. They are huge and take up 90 per cent of my funds. I am now into big business, aside from music. I am getting old. 68? So you can’t say you will be there forever. Don’t you consider what I am saying?”
