Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, better known as K1 De Ultimate, a famous Fuji music star, has publicly apologized following an incident at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja on August 5, 2025.
In his statement, K1 expressed regret over a misunderstanding that led to rumours he tried to board a flight with alcohol in his flask.
He strongly denied the claims, explaining that his flask only contained water because he suffers from chronic dehydration, which requires him to stay hydrated.
K1 clarified that the flask was empty during two security checks and was only filled with water in the airport lounge before he headed to the plane.
