We Started Fuji Music Together – Kollington Ayinla Reflects on Collaboration with Barrister
In a recent interview on Oyinmomo TV, Fuji legend Kollington Ayinla reflected on the origins of the genre. He said he and the late Sikiru Ayinde Barrister started Fuji music together during their time in the military. Kollington recalled Barrister’s suggestion to keep performing as they had before joining service. He noted that Barrister released a record before him, which made him known as the genre’s first. But he insists both played foundational roles. He asserted that today he remains the leading authority in Fuji music worldwide. He also highlighted his extensive catalogue and singled out his hit “Ijoyoyo” as a fan favourite. Kollington urged respect between both fan bases and warned his supporters not to insult Barrister or his fans. He said mutual praise should always include both pioneers.
