Remember Emmanuella Ropo?
The twice-married woman once linked with the Ooni of Ife is in the news again.
Emmanuella is getting married to a popular Fuji musician – King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, Kwam 1, today.
Pre-wedding photos have gone viral fueling controversies about the lifestyles of the couple.
Emmanuella was twice married with children. Her first marriage to one Joshua Adewale, an oil dealer, produced two children – girls, then she hooked one Femi and had her third child – a boy.
Kwam 1, aka K1 De Ultimate, for the umpteenth time, is being romantically linked with women associated with Royalty.
He was recently accused of dating one of the wives of the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi III, the Iku Baba Yeye.
Although he denied this allegation in a statement issued by his media adviser, Kunle Rasheed, the revelation reportedly led to the sack of the 22-year-old Olori (Queen) Badirat Ajoke Adeyemi, who was the Alaafin’s 9th wife, from the palace on grounds of infidelity with Kwam 1.
Olori Badirat, a mother of three, has a twin for the Monarch.
The controversial report came shortly after Kwam 1 was installed by the Alaafin as the Mayegun of Yorubaland.
Insisting that the report was fake news, Kwam 1 had stated then that he could not have brought disrepute to the culture and tradition of Yorubaland by his alleged actions.
Kwam 1 has battled with several controversies following allegations of infidelity including his alleged affair with the daughter of another Fuji musician – Wasiu Alabi Pasuma, his fan – Gbenga Islander’s fiancee, and that of his wife’s impregnated niece.
Kwam 1 has been twice-married too.
Kwam 1 popularized a brand of the fuji genre based on the work of the fuji creator Ayinde Barrister known as Talazo fuji.
He released his first album titled Iba with the special track ‘Abode Mecca’ in 1980, and thereafter, his most successful album Talazo ’84 in 1984. He has won many titles and several music awards.
