Legendary Fuji musician Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, popularly known as KWAM 1 or K1 De Ultimate, has issued a public apology following a recent altercation at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja. The artist described the event as "unfortunate," stating that the misunderstanding stemmed from a medically advised need to carry a personal water flask for health reasons.
The incident, which occurred at the local wing of the airport, had sparked online discussions after some reports and social media posts alleged misconduct or improper behavior linked to the musician. However, in a statement released on Thursday, KWAM 1 clarified the nature of the situation and addressed what he called “negative narratives”.
“The incident that occurred at the local wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport was, to say the least, unfortunate,” KWAM 1 said.
“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.”
💧 Clarification on Flask Content: “It Was Water, Not Alcohol”
Dispelling widespread speculation, the Fuji icon stressed that contrary to online rumors, the flask in question did not contain alcohol but simply water prescribed for his health.
“Contrary to the negative narrative being circulated in some quarters, the flask contained only water, not alcohol,” he affirmed.
The singer’s management team also confirmed that KWAM 1 had fully cooperated with airport security officials during the episode and that there was no intent to violate regulations or disrupt operations.
