Alhaji Abass Akande, popularly known as Obesere is unarguably of the legends of Fuji music in Nigeria.

At the recently held K1 Unusual Concert, the energetic singer was missing, which fuelled speculations that he was at loggerheads with Wasiu Ayinde Anifowoshe, otherwise known as K1 de Ultimate.

But reacting to the rumour, Obesere explained that he would have attended the event if he was invited by the organisers or K1.

The 'Asakasa' crooner further disclosed that since he was not invited for the show, there was no way he could have been there.

“I didn't intentionally shun K1 Live Unusual Concert, the fact is that I was taken for granted by the organizers. No one informed me or my manager of the show. Not even a call by K1 himself. I swear with Almighty Allah, I was only informed through the posters and banners all over the place.

“In actual sense, what they did was wrong and illegal. They're not supposed to put my name and picture on the posters and banners when they have not discussed anything with me. And I am sure, K1 also can't condone that. But if I react now, they will say Obesere has come again. There was nothing stopping K1 from informing me about it.

“It was a show I personally would have loved to perform if I had been told. No one sent any invitation or letter to me to that effect.

“Even, a lot of my fans were also looking forward to such a show. But they were all disappointed to know that I wasn't informed. They were not happy that I didn't come.

“I had to honour another engagement that same day when I waited to hear from the organizers of K1 Live Unusual Concert, and nothing was heard from any of them. It was that day I played for Captain Semiu Mustapha at R & A Hotel, Allen Avenue, Ikeja, Lagos.

“Although I left the shores of Nigeria for the Republic of Ireland since Wednesday, November 5 and I came back on Wednesday, November 19, 2014, that notwithstanding, I should have come if I had been informed of the show. Even, within the two days to the concert,” he narrated.

Obesere played down rumour that his absence at the event was as a result of the brewing enmity between both parties.

“There is nothing like that at the moment. We have no quarrel at all. I have told you exactly what happened, and that's the truth.

“I wasn't the only one who didn't go, I learnt 2Face also wasn't there. I was told he had a show in South Africa. But people shouldn't blame me for not being part of the show, they should blame the organizer,” Obesere explained.© 2014Nollywoodgists.com
