NGOlawale Adekoya, the saxophonist of Nigerian musician Wasiu 'Kwam 1' Ayinde, has apologized for remarks attributed to his leader during a live performance that sparked controversy. Kwam 1 had referred to a pregnancy by his alleged partner, Ogechi Eleana, and their child, Azizat, as an 'unnecessary and free gift,' leading to public backlash. Adekoya clarified that these comments were misinterpretations of a musical rhythm called 'alujo' performed during the event, which was meant to be playful and not offensive. He emphasized that Kwam 1 was not involved in the interpretation and did not intend to mock anyone, stating the remarks were a result of spontaneous excitement during the performance. Adekoya took full responsibility for the misunderstanding and expressed regret for the negative reactions received.
