May 26, (THEWILL)- It is common knowledge that Fuji maestro, Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, a.k.a KWAM1, has several children. While some have argued that the 67-year-old has up to 30 children, others are of the opinion that he has a little below that number. But findings reveal that the Olori Omo Oba Akile Ijebu has 42 children, most of whom are graduates. At least that is one thing he doesn’t ever joke with – education. But what is surprising is the fact that most of his children are not known to the public. His first fruit is a 47-year-old man called Azeez who he sired when he was 20, a time when many individuals were still diligently preparing for their West Africa Examination Council, WAEC. It was also a time when he began to have a taste of success in his music career as Nigeria provided a favorable environment that allowed talented individuals to flourish and make the most of their God-given talents.
Azeez’s mother, Yinka, who is now late, bore him and his brother, Sukura who is now 46 for the singer. Azeez runs his father’s businesses, and he is reportedly being groomed to take over when his father becomes old and fragile. But judging by how active KWAM1 is, still gracing party stages with a packed schedule, it is unlikely he will retire soon.
Azeez is a Chartered Accountant and an Internal Control expert. However, there has been whispers that his father’s staff prefer K1’s managerial acumen to that of his son, Azeez. If there is one thing you cannot take away from KWAM1, it is the fact that through sheer hard work and divine favor, he has accomplished a great deal in his career. Additionally, he has raised successful children who are excelling in their respective fields. It is estimated that nearly 100 people are on his payroll. Indeed, he has been blessed with remarkable fortune.
