Fuji music icon, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, popularly known as K1 De Ultimate, is very much still dominating the headlines following the emergence of a leaked audio in which he allegedly threatened to deal with the staff, owner of ValueJet, over what he described as a “national embarrassment.”
The fresh development comes just weeks after a viral video showed the veteran musician attempting to stop a ValueJet aircraft from taking off, a clip that stirred widespread debate and mixed reactions on social media.
In the newly surfaced audio conversation, which has been circulating across various online platforms, K1 De Ultimate is allegedly heard recounting the events that led to the airport drama.
The 67-year-old music legend claimed that ValueJet staff had stopped him from taking water from his personal flask, despite his insistence that it was medically necessary for him to drink it frequently.
According to him, he explained his health condition to the airline officials and appealed for understanding, warned them not to turn the matter into a public spectacle.
However, K1 alleged that the airline personnel refused to heed his plea, with one staff member reportedly instructing others to prevent him from boarding. This, he claimed, escalated the situation, attracting the attention of other passengers.
The fuji maestro allegedly stressed in the recording that no one could humiliate him without facing consequences, warned that the airline’s owner, Mr. Kunle Soname, would “feel it” in his business operations.
In the audio, he seemingly said in part:
“You are not fair, if you were fair you’d know that I am a patient and this is my water. Don’t make it a national issue. That’s what I said to you. If you believe in God, you bring the Bible, Quran… I said don’t make it a national issue and he said no, and next thing he instructed one person, don’t let him go. And I said oh that’s the way you want it? If that’s the way you want it then, nobody’s going in. It got to a point it started gathering momentum, people are gathering and I opened this and I poured the content away. I said this is water.
“How can you embarrass me. We’ll make this a national issue if that’s what you want. My name is Wasiu Ayinde, nobody does that with me and gets away with it. Nobody. Because I didn’t go to look for trouble. I didn’t bypass queue, I didn’t jump queue. I didn’t do anything. The next thing I got ‘you can’t go on my flight.’ I don’t want to go anymore on that flight any more in my life, then Soname will feel it. Will feel me in his business…”
