- King Sunny Ade in 2011 had spoken with Agbaletu. He addressed issues among many others which was connected with allegations of abandonment by his old band members.
He dwelt on the concerts they attended in 1984 and mentioned the band members involved at the concerts.
The videos played on my voice and KSA's as he responds to my questions are deliberately used to show the faces and roles of members of the African Beats Members as at that time.
The third video shows the faces of the new instrumentalists and singers playing for the African Beats at the moment.
Videos used were borrowed from the pages of the original owners of the videos as instructional contents to back up KSA'S claim and illustrations.

For KSA to calmly grant this interview without losing his cool, shows he is truly a king
They left him; they forgot it is his star they are using! Now they want his help! Awon odaale eda!
Thank you so much KSA for not allowing people to sin by talking and clarifying issues. You are such a lovely person and you are so blessed Baba KSA. Try and bless your old friends for you are called blessed among men. Kudos KSA. May your generations be champions IJMN
That's just it ! Let him just try his best. This is also a lesson for all and sundry. Whenever someone is working let there always be left over ( A JE SE KU )
KSA IS RIGHT.... Saving is important invest save stop buying liabilities buy assets and saving
I just love this man. He is Primus Inter Pares!
This is a man i love so much who likes other upcoming artistes to progress. May he live long in Jesus name.
Transparency is key to every commercial relationship. Big lesson for young entrepreneurs.
I love this interviewer, you're very intelligent. Nice job Bro.
I have loved KSA since when I was a little boy listening to his songs in my father’s seating room…and I remembered when he came to Benin city for S.D.P (Abiola’s campaign rally). I wish him long life and more prosperity
The great God Will continue to bless and promote king Sunny Are U are a complete man of God and a very humble man U will live long to fulfil more destiny In Jesus Name Amen
KSA is very lenient and mature in expressions. I love him
I love KSA RIGHT FROM MY CHILDHOOD. Lesson to learn among others is that, you should lean how to save for your old age, mismanagement of resources is a big disease.
King sunny Ade I love you so much you are a big star
It's so funny that some members that left the band even the ones that formed their bands still blaming Him. If you left a company or you got sacked. And you are still expecting the company or the company's owner to be taking care of you after many years.
@Adekunle Olaniyi your point is very valid!
KSA cannot be held responsible for every single ex band member
I am surprised.
Honestly you are on point 👉 I don't understand the way our culture thinks
KSA is just a great Icon 👍
EJIRE OYELA NEEDS TO LISTEN TO THIS INTERVIEW
I am highly impressed with this interview. Just listened to baba commander side of Segun awẹ saga.
God bless you agbaletu for this release
Thank you so much sir. Please listen to the reconciliation voice notes too. It's posted already.
God bless our papa in music industry in Nigeria. This attitude has taught me a lot on this job
His saying the truth because I grow up in Osogbo he has a senior brother from same mother his brother name is uncle Akin he was a motorcycle mechanic I know Sunday Ariyo a native of ijebujesha
I met with king sunny Ade in 2004 with my dad at jibowu office.We got to his office at 12 pm and we left by 6pm.with a lot of discussions with my dad at jibowu office.What I saw with people in this life was that.People should follow his destiny according to what happened to him or her.No one can help others than God.My daddy is late now chief Tajudeen olarenwaju Fadeyi beginning members of green sport band of king sunny Ade Foundation members.But what I espected from him when we met him with my dad was not what I espected.So help me God
This man is so cool and humble, even after he left his band boys still want to know where' they are and their conditions.
It shows he's a real leader.....
God bless you the more KSA
King Sunny Ade owes them no obligations except occasional gift propelled by nostalgia. No place on planet earth a band leader is obligated to pay retirement to his members. The way we think in black world is always entails perversity. They forced KSA to pay them the way they were paid; KSA’s intention was to have a retirement system for them but they refused it vehemently.
Abi now ! I don't know why they are so bitter about KSA elevation when he had good plan for them but see what they are going through now...
I totally agreed with you. The difference between these people and KSA is having foresight and wisdom which he shared with them but pride gets in the way of many of them. He does not owe them anything.
You've said all baba.......
Baba sunny with unique voice 👌
I have a new found respect for KSA!
He really handled this with great emotional intelligence; he answered the questions calmly and very frankly. And to say this was in 2011!
For an entertainer of his generation, he showed himself to be focused, principled and disciplined. Very few of the entertainers of his times, and even of today, possess such qualities.
This interview session with KSA was recorded in 2011 but I can assure you it is a timeless interview, and it, to a very great extent, vindicates KSA on the recent surge of accusations of cheating and neglect from his former friends/band members. Leadership is a very serious business and I think KSA did his best , though his best might not be enough in the estimation of the aggrieved former members.
The humility, friendliness and the act of comradeship displayed by KSA in this interview is topnotch and he spoke well about his old friends.
That said, though the effluxion of time might have changed the narrative of this topic between KSA and the aggrieved former members and that is the reason I will want to plead with Otunba Sunday Adeniyi Adegeye (MFR) to send an open invitation to these guys for a get together and reconciliation dinner. All of them are over 70s now, so they all should do the needful now. The aggrieved former band members should also eat the humble pie. I beg all of them in the name of whatever they worship.
Like the popular old French song by Dougie MacLean titled " Auld Lang Syne" goes:
" Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne....."
Oh my my, beautiful write up
I advocated for this just last week and some people are calling for my head. I had to come back here to read comments and I found yours again. I wish I could make KSA read your message. I really do wish.
@@deleadeyanju Thank so much sir.
@@popsonjaiyesimi7670 Thanks Boss.
This interview is a real lesson for all... thank you so much for chairing
The interviewer and the interviewee are both knowledgeable
Despite the fact that KSA was not privy to what the interview was all about his responses shows he has nothing on his cupboard hidden he was so spot on
And Kudos Me Dele for the way you handled someone old enough to be your father leaving no stone unturn to get the few facts from the king
You are going places bro
I love you so much
Long live the King of world beat
Love you grand pa
Very good job, Agbaledu. I will appreciate if you bring chief commander Ebenezer obey for this same interview regarding to all his band boys that were not happy with him.
People should learn to take responsibility for their error in life & not blame it on someone else. D King ex members should look for him is they need help & stop running him down. King Sunny is not oblige to render help but he can if he wants. I don't understand why people love running down others
God knows best. Thank you
A unique humankind's. Love you more sir.
I have a new heightened respect for Sunny Ade as a person.
Long life king sunny Ade
God bless KSA more for being humble to shed light on the controversy. Saving for the future is important. It appears the 1st generation of band boys didn’t realise that. The current generation have learnt and now have FUTURE POT. The alternative is to employ them, pay salaries & have holidays & pension schemes.
KSA is so humble
Love you more Baba Wa KSA
This is an intensive interview with the King Suny Ade I ever heard. Thanks for bringing the plight of his XY members of his band to his notice.
I love this Interviewer 😀😅😍! Unlike some others, he knows his onions ASF👏👏👏!
Being a leader is not just about gathering people together, God is the one choosing a leader.
KSA is very calm oooo! Wow! Can't believe this man is this transparent! At his age, very humble, with a sound English, answered all questions (some even nasty questions). They already left the band so he can't promise them. No one in his caliber does this kind of transparency & leave the money made with the band members, even said they're the same rank under KSA. Let's be honest! Blessings & long live KSA!
There are no nasty questions sir. Which questions do you describe as nasty? Kindly point it out.
This interviewer is a Radio Nigeria trained broadcaster and a professional. He knows what borders not to cross. The interviewer is me.
I agree with you that KSA was calm all thru the interview despite playing all night. Granting such interviews is just part of his job for over half a century.
KSA SAID THE TRUTH BECAUSE ONE OF HIS BAND MEMBER SAID HE DOESN'T TAKE ANY THING
Aisi Owo lowo Baba ijaya...
L❤️💙💚💛💞💜🧡💖💝ve you sir.
Fantastic interview 👏
Iba fun King Sunday Anthony Ishola Adeniyi-Adegeye.....Let Baba just try his best for them.When someone is working let there always be left over for future purpose.....
This man Call King Sunny Ade. His is real Mature Man. I really Cherish his Maturity.
THE KING HIMSELF
"Eni olorun da le jo to lohun o gba to fi a pa ja nu, ka wo ibi to ma gbe jo lo"...
He sounds genuine
I Love KSA always and forever.
The guys complaining spent their youth flexing, KSA spent his investing in the future. He invested in his kids and family and they are doing super well.
This is a life coach leader.....whaooo
KSA IS GREAT
Honestly u are doing well my brother
Baba Sala taught KSA how to play the guitar. This is an established fact.
He bought 6million naira equipment and can’t sing pass sunny ade. That means that person has no talent. Return the equipment and get your money back.
From all these submissions then KSA holds no obligation to them. They agreed to share the band profits. But they did not invest like KSA.
I took a picture with him at ike’s restaurant in Atlanta Georgia back in 2016 when he came there to play.A very quiet ,simple and gentle man I was expecting to him in an exotic vehicle but to my surprise he left on a tourist bus
I was at Ike's restaurant that day
i felt like the interview should not end, long life ksa baba
Whats the title of the album
If you leave a band voluntarily and you got paid, then Sunny Ade does not owe you anything. If I were KSA I will not give them a Penny. Lots of Nigerians including family members have an entitlement mentality.
The problem with the band boys is that they don't save money. Even if they're paid as civil servants as claimed by one Sikiru of Ebenezer Obey band, does that justify their reckless lifestyle. They have forgotten that it is under the glory of their leaders they are eating from. Ika ni awon eniyan.
Can you be doing every interview with English please 🙏, or be translating please 🙏
❤❤❤❤❤
Whats the starting song title
Our people are too self entitled.
Hmmm, Olorun a rejo da o, e saje ka serere
Pple are so wicked! They tarnished his image bcos he wasn't there , if not for king sunny ade how would they have travelled all over the countries? Apart from them for Jaco to have been able to save up to that amount to buy that instrument at least it shows he achieved behind him but they mismanaged
KSA is a great leader, that all I can say. It is so unfortunate how members of the group misbehaved all because of money. It is not easy to deal with human being, may God continue to take the King to greater heights
Candidly speaking, you don't have to drive them away as a result of saying they are old. You started together as band members, Those international musicians like Steve Wonder and some others don't do away with their old members. Our Own
I learnt a lot from this interview about human relationships.
old interview of 2011.......
I'm sure those band boys made a lot of money while with KSA, but they didn't make good plans for themselves
A😀😀😀
You people talking wrongly about k1 because mr ayankunle just hearing the truth.
It is a shame there are no sub tittles for the none Yoruba speaking fans. 😑😑
It's not a shame. This is for purely Yoruba Language speakers. Maybe later when we consider non-yoruba speakers, and we have the means, we will start doing that. For now, that's all we can offer giving technology within our reach.
@@deleadeyanju I was always under the impression that TH-cam content creators were in the business of increasing their fan base. I am sorry for intruding on your space.
No hard feelings. We’re just starting and the technology we have at the moment can’t afford us that. We’re working on expanding on picture quality, sound quality and all other qualities but we’re starting from somewhere. I appreciate your response sir.
@@deleadeyanju I apologise for being a little frosty. All I would like is to see African music gain the proper world wide respect that it deserves.
Juju as well as other African music firms has gained a very large global following thanks to the internet and not the European record companies.👍👍
We’re on the same page on this sir and I promise you with our will and the right technical support, we’ll get there. I promise you by January of Next year, we’ll record a lot of improvement. I thank you so sincerely once again.
Agbaletu e ku ise o.
He's responsible. This is the reason you always seen their bands with younger kids who knows no better! They get paid until they retire without any pension. Tthe problem with banding in Nigeria is the band members have zero money once they stop performing. They don't own any publishing rights, nor a cut of the proceed of the albums. This is not unique to Sunny Ade, it is just a wrong model. If you beat a drum in mega music, you should be entitled to the proceed of the sales forever, just like the lead musician. That small sale may be the equivalent of your pension till death. Unfortunately, that's not the case.
The interviewer was a bit biased in his questioning. There is nowhere in the world where instrumentalists are paid royalties. Only composers and song writers are entitled to lifetime royalties. KSA paid them while they were with him so he owes them nothing more
@@christopherolawoye7003 You are wrong. Who needs Nigeria band model compensation when you have Christopher! The Beatles, the QUeens, the WHo, U2, Pink FLoyd, Led Zephelin..... Everyone is a multimillionaire, KSA is the only one in his band. End of story.
Did you heard when he said when they were asked to planned for the future many of them refused? Even in Western world employees make contributions towards their pension. so if they refused to make proper plans whose fault is that?
@@egbeoduduwa3365 thank you
@@egbeoduduwa3365 Thank you so much for the explanation. My pension is being deducted from my salary monthly, which I believe is what I will fall back on when I am no longer working actively as a salary earner.
It is a big liar
What is lies he told , can you tell us the truth about the lies you think his telling
You're a fool, tell us the lies.
A big liar??? What's the lies here, dummy!
It?
To think that KSA granted this interview after a hard night's job and was still composed shows his level of emotional and adversity intelligence.
KSA outside the stage is an extremely quiet and shy man.
im a great fan of sunny Ade, but I'm really disappointed in the way none of his past band members didn't say anything good about him
Not all
Iro tipoju fun King nii problem won.. He knows by him self.. Hmmm mm. Kolorun dariji ee my King
What lies he told please explain
You're so stupid to say the King is a liar. Ori e o pe
Please explain more
How did he lie?
