K1 De Ultimate denies dating Alaafin of Oyo’s wife, threatens legal action

Fuji maestro, Wasiu Anifowoshe Ayinde Marshall (KWAM 1), who now prefers to be called K1 De Ultimate, has denied rumours making the rounds that he was having an affair with Olori Ajoke, one of the wives of Alayeluwa, the Alaafin of Oyo.

Social media has been awash in the last 24-hours with claims that the Alafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi III, had sent Ajoke packing from the palace over an alleged affair with the popular singer.

The rumour was fuelled when Chirp Television took to Twitter to share the story on its official timeline on Wednesday.

It wrote “Meet Olori Badirat Ajoke the youngest of Alaafin of Oyo’s wives sent out of the palace yesterday on allegations of having adulterous affairs with KWAM 1”

The report alleged that Badirat Ajoke, the youngest wife cheated on him with Kwam 1, the Mayegun of Yoruba land which spurred the Alaafin of Oyo to chase her out of his palace.

While reacting to the report by Chirp Television, in a statement issued by his Media Adviser, Kunle Rasheed on Thursday, K1 De Ultimate denied the allegations saying the rumour is a lie concocted from the pit of hell by those whose aim is to drag to the mud.

Reacting further to the claim, the Fuji musician said that the rumour is the handiwork of agents of Lucifer who have continued in their warped delusions to see him go aground just for being conferred with the title of Mayegun of Yoruba land.

The statement by K1 De Ultimate, issued by his Media Adviser reads thus below in detail:

“The attention of Fuji Maestro and Mayegun of Yorubaland, Alhaji Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, K1 De Ultimate, has been drawn to the rumour making the rounds in the past 48 hours, on social media platforms, where it has been alleged that the music icon was having an affair with Olori Ajoke, one of the wives of Alayeluwa, the Alaafin of Oyo, His Imperial Majesty, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi 111.

“Ordinarily, one would have waved off this allegation as one coming from the warped mind of one possibly numbed by high covid-19 fever. But as known in these parts, a lie repeatedly told, has a way of transmuting to truth.

“Let me categorically state that the rumour is lies concocted from the pit of hell by those whose aim is to drag to the mud, the name of K1 De Ultimate and ultimately that of the most revered kingdom in Yoruba land.

“These agents of Lucifer have continued in their warped delusions to see K1 go to the ground just for being conferred with the title of Mayegun of Yoruba land. The Alaafin’s crime is the conferment of the honour; hence the grim plot to drag him down also. Moreover, the highly respected Monarch and his Olori have both debunked the story as baseless and unfounded.

“For the records, as the Mayegun of Yorubaland, K1 is aware of the customs and traditions of the Yoruba and as such, can not put the culture and tradition of the Yorubaland to disrepute.

“Let me remind the rumour mongers that Nigeria has adequate laws to bring anyone who has embarked on character assassination of the innocent to book. The fans and the general public should be rest assured that we will legally seek redress for this allegation,” the statement added.
