An old video of veteran Fuji singer King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, popularly known as KWAM 1 or K1 De Ultimate, has resurfaced online amid a fresh controversy. The video, which originally surfaced years ago, shows KWAM 1 openly sharing his approach to relationships and how he leaves behind personal items as souvenirs after a breakup. The resurgence comes after the singer responded to a woman who claimed he is the biological father of her daughter.
KWAM 1's Revelation About His Relationship Practices
In the resurfaced video, KWAM 1 boasts about leaving his clothes and shoes in the homes of women he has been with, especially if they have children for him. He says these items serve as souvenirs for remembrance. "Whenever I am done with a woman, I normally leave my clothes and shoes in her house, most especially if she has got children for me. I normally use it as a souvenir for remembrance; these are some of the street credibility I learnt earlier and it has helped me so far in life," he said in the clip.
The Fuji legend added that this practice has contributed to his stress-free life, as he has nothing to worry about after a relationship ends. The video was originally shared on his Instagram page, but has now been widely circulated on other social media platforms, including X (formerly Twitter).
Netizens React to the Old Video
The resurfaced video has sparked a wave of reactions from social media users, many of whom condemned the singer's remarks. Legit.ng compiled some of the comments:
- omotoyosiwrites commented: "Lessons for ladies: As you open your net, always bear in mind that you will suffer the consequences of your action if the man refuse to take responsibilities."
- TheBarigaboy commented: "For ladies throwing themselves at celebrities, I hope they can see one of their grand patrons."
- MrWhalez reacted: "And the people there are laughing, he must really be making sense to them... smh."
The video shows KWAM 1 speaking casually while others around him laugh, which has further irritated some viewers who see it as a lack of seriousness regarding responsibilities.
Context: The Paternity Claim
The resurfaced video comes shortly after a woman publicly claimed that KWAM 1 is the father of her daughter. The singer responded to the allegation, which led netizens to dig up the old clip. As of the time of this report, the paternity claim has not been resolved, and KWAM 1 has not provided further details beyond his initial response.
Previous Incident: KWAM 1 Performs After Mother's Funeral
In a related development, Legit.ng previously reported that KWAM 1 performed at a wedding just hours after burying his 105-year-old mother. A video of his teary-eyed performance went viral, drawing mixed reactions from Nigerians. Some expressed surprise that he could overcome his grief so quickly and focus on his professional engagements, while others defended him, noting that the wedding engagement was likely scheduled before his mother's passing.
KWAM 1, who is one of the most influential figures in Fuji music, has often been in the spotlight for both his music and his personal life. The resurfaced video adds another layer to the ongoing public discourse about celebrity relationships and responsibilities.
