Fuji music legend King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, widely recognised as KWAM1, has sparked fresh discussions across social media.
In a viral video, he addressed the verbal abuse often directed at women, especially affluent women who are accused of engaging in promiscuity.
The veteran entertainer, speaking passionately in the now widely circulated clip, maintained that the derogatory labels frequently used against women are more than mere insults.
According to him, such words are often deliberately deployed as a means of discouraging women and preventing them from achieving their full potential.
KWAM1 described the verbal attacks as a form of suppression rather than simple moral criticism, arguing that successful women can be targeted with such accusations in an attempt to distract them from their ambitions and progress.
“See, they will call you a prostituute. The greatest insult to a sixty-year-old woman is to call her a prostitutte. Even if my mother was 100, they will say the same. It is the greatest insult hurled at a woman, especially the wealthy ones.
“The source of riches holds hidden filth; the insult is the filth, and as long as you stay focused and unbothered by the insults, you will keep growing. No matter what they say about you, just remember it is a tool to suppress you or make life harder for you. See everything as a life challenge, and the moment you escape it, you’ve reached your state of happiness. Life is war; we have to fight it. May God see you through your battles,” he said.
KWAM1’s Recent Controversy
The resurfaced video has attracted attention partly because it emerged only a few days after KWAM1 engaged in a public exchange with a woman who accused him of failing to care for their 12-year-old daughter.
The allegation had already triggered widespread public interest and placed the Fuji icon in the middle of an intense online conversation.
His latest comments have now generated another wave of reactions, with social media users offering differing opinions about his remarks and the circumstances surrounding them.
