Kwam 1 Apologises To FG, Keyamo, Others Over Airport Incident

 

Fuji music legend, Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, also known as K1 De Ultimate has tendered an apology over an altercation between him and some airline officials.

 

Recall that he had got into a fight with ValueJet crew at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on August 5, 2025.

 

Following the backlash, the music legend has now tendered an apology in a statement he personally signed on Friday.

 

Marshal said: “The incident that occurred at the local wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport was, to say the least, unfortunate.

“Unknown to many, I suffer from chronic dehydration, and my doctor strongly advised that I remain constantly hydrated. This is why I always carry a water flask with me.

“Contrary to the negative narrative being circulated in some quarters, the flask contained only water — not alcohol.”

 

The musician said that the flask was empty during two separate security checks and was only filled with water at the airport lounge before he proceeded to the tarmac, stressing that he had not yet boarded the aircraft, “let alone being deboarded.”

 

K1 De Ultimate apologised to the Presidency, the Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, ValueJet, and Nigerians at large.

 

He said: “I acknowledge and deeply regret the concerns that arose from the incident.

“It was never my intention to cause any disruption or violate aviation protocols.

“My unwavering patriotism and loyalty to the Federal Republic of Nigeria have never been in doubt.

“I would never do anything to tarnish the image I’ve built over the past five decades.”
