A throwback video featuring a younger K1 De Ultimate, popularly known as KWAM1, has resurfaced online, stirring excitement among fans and Nollywood enthusiasts. The clip is from the 2005 Yoruba movie Opin Irin Ajo, produced by Lasun-Ray and reportedly filmed at the University of Lagos.
KWAM1's Acting Role in 2005 Movie
In the film, the Fuji legend takes on an acting role that has sparked nostalgia for many. In one memorable scene, a character named Bolanle professes her love for him, promising marriage and a more luxurious lifestyle. She declares, "I am in love with you, and I want to marry you. Let's move closer. This is your mother's car. If you agree to my proposition, my father will buy you a better car than this."
KWAM1's character, however, rejects her advances and stresses that beauty alone is not enough. He says: "Bolanle, it's not only beauty that matters in a woman. You are beautiful, but that's not what I am interested in. You don't have what I want." The heated exchange continued until KWAM1 said, "You don't know you are a fake," before walking away to hug another woman who walked towards them.

KWAM1 Reunites with Estranged Drummer
Legit.ng earlier reported that KWAM1 reunited with his former drummer, Ayankunle Ayanlowo, ending years of tension and public accusations. The reunion was witnessed during a live performance, with K1 hailing Ayankunle as he returned to the band. Ayanlowo had previously made headlines claiming he spent over three decades with K1 De Ultimate yet "achieved nothing." He alleged that band members were treated like slaves, with passports confiscated and strict restrictions on movement. Ayanlowo said he was denied urgent medical care for a longstanding ulcer after K1 reportedly ordered him out of the car en route to a hospital.
