Dami Marshall, daughter of renowned Fuji musician King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall (KWAM 1), has publicly denied rumours of a romantic relationship with Nigerian singer Asake.
The speculation emerged after Marshall shared an Instagram photo of herself with Asake at an event, captioning it “Mr Money and Mrs Money.” The post, referencing Asake’s popular moniker ‘Mr. Money,’ quickly fueled gossip across social media and entertainment blogs.
Marshall addressed the rumours directly in a subsequent Instagram post, clarifying that the photograph was taken during their first encounter. “That was my first time meeting him,” she stated, dismissing the speculation as unfounded. She further cautioned followers against believing online narratives, writing, “Do not believe blogs, they can do anything for traffic.”
The clarification from Marshall, a prominent figure in her own right and the daughter of the iconic KWAM 1, puts to rest the recent buzz. Asake, whose real name is Ahmed Ololade, has maintained a relatively private personal life since his highly publicised split from his former girlfriend, Madame Mystique, in 2014. There have been no confirmed reports of subsequent serious relationships.
This incident highlights the rapid spread of unverified celebrity rumours on social media and the potential for misinterpretation of casual interactions. Marshall’s response serves as a reminder of the need for discretion and verification before engaging with or amplifying such stories. Her direct appeal to her audience underscores the challenges public figures face in managing their private lives amidst online sensationalism. The episode is likely to reinforce ongoing conversations about digital responsibility and the consumption of celebrity news.
