Qu assumed the throne following the murder of the usurper Sakura on his return from the hajj. Oral tradition says that Kon Mamadi killed him himself with the help of Sakura's daughter.^[3][1] His succession ended the succession disputes that had pitted the Gbara against the army/hunter's guild since Sundiata's death.^[4]

He ruled until 1305, when he was succeeded by his son Mohammad ibn Qu.
