Veteran Fuji musician Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, popularly known as K1 De Ultimate or Kwam1, has broken his silence on allegations that he abandoned his ex-lover, Ogechi, and their alleged teenage daughter, describing any unplanned pregnancies arising from his relationships as a “promo”.
The singer made the controversial remark during a live performance over the weekend, reacting to claims made by Ogechi, his former pedicurist.
His comments have since sparked widespread reactions on social media, with many Nigerians discussing both the allegations against him and his response.
Ogechi accuses K1 of abandoning her and her daughter
The controversy erupted after Ogechi publicly claimed that the Fuji icon abandoned her after she became pregnant with their daughter, identified as Azizat Tiwalade Ayinde Marshall.
According to her, she was in a relationship with K1 De Ultimate for about seven years before finding out she was pregnant.
She claimed that after she informed the musician of the pregnancy, he insisted that she terminate it but did not provide money for the abortion. Ogechi further alleged that after he refused to support her, the singer blocked all means of communication, leaving her to provide for the baby alone.
The allegations quickly attracted attention on social media platforms, where many users questioned the celebrities’ responsibilities towards their children and ex-partners.
Neither Ogechi nor K1 De Ultimate have indicated whether the matter has been taken to court or whether legal proceedings are underway.
K1 responds with a controversial “promo” comment.
Reacting to the allegations during a live performance, K1 De Ultimate did not directly address the specific abandonment claims but instead responded in a humorous manner.
Speaking in Yoruba, the veteran singer said: “Eni ba loyun koyun, to ba loyun koyun, Saara ni.”
The statement loosely translates to mean that any unplanned pregnancy resulting from his relationships should be considered a free gift or “promo.”
The comment drew laughter from some members of the audience at the event. However, videos of the performance later surfaced online, sparking criticism from many Nigerians who considered the remark insensitive considering the nature of the allegations.
While some interpreted the statement as a joke intended to entertain the public, others argued that the issue required a more serious and direct response.
Mixed reactions follow the singer’s comments
The singer’s statements have continued to divide public opinion, with supporters insisting that his comments were made in the spirit of entertainment and should not be taken literally.
Others, however, argue that the allegations involve serious issues of parental responsibility and deserve a clear explanation rather than humor.
Several social media users called on the Fuji star to address the allegations more fully, while others urged both parties to resolve the matter privately in the interests of the alleged child.
The controversy has also reignited debate over the obligations of public figures when personal disputes become matters of public concern.
Despite the growing debate, K1 De Ultimate has not released any official statements beyond the remarks made during his stage performance.
Likewise, Ogechi is yet to react publicly to the singer’s latest comments.
As discussions continue online, many Nigerians await further clarification from both sides regarding the allegations and issues surrounding their reported relationship.
