Veteran Fuji artiste, Wasiu Ayinde, aka K1 De Ultimate, trended on Wednesday because his 49th album is the same title as Davido’s fourth album, ‘Timeless’.
The criticisms arose not only because of the similarities between the album titles but because of the timing of the release. Kwam 1’s album will be released on the 14th of April.
Davido’s ‘Timeless‘ album was released on the 31st of March.
Also, like Davido, the singer has announced an album pre-order sale on Apple Music.
Reacting to this news, Davido’s fans and critics claimed the Fuji musician was attempting to exploit the accolades and waves trailing his (Davido’s) new album.
