Businessman and social commentator Isaac Fayose has taken a hard stance against Fuji legend King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, also known as K1 De Ultimate, following the singer’s now-infamous airport altercation
After the episode, the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, has barred KWAM 1 from flying in Nigeria for six months
In a strongly worded video message, Fayose said the singer’s behaviour was not only embarrassing but would have had severe legal consequences if it had happened outside Nigeria.

He didn’t mince words when listing the offences he believed K1 would have faced abroad.
Fayose stated:
“If this was in the UK, America, Europe or even South Africa, you’d be arrested immediately. Your first count will be assault… assaulting airline officials. Second count will be attempted s*icide. The third will be attempted s*icide on a legend. Because you’re a legend. You don’t own yourself again — we own you.”
According to Fayose, celebrities like K1 carry a responsibility beyond their personal freedom. Their actions, he argued, are watched and copied by countless fans.
The younger brother of former Ekiti State governor, Ayo Fayose, said the incident was more than just a heated exchange; it was a dangerous precedent.
He added:
“How can someone we look up to be doing this kind of thing?” he asked. “Snoop Dogg or Jay-Z will never try this in America. But here, we let things slide.”
Fayose stressed that K1’s public meltdown sent the wrong message, especially in a country where respect for rules is already shaky.
“I regret spending ₦5m on you” - Fayose
In a twist that made his criticism even more personal, Fayose revealed that just three weeks earlier, he had spent nearly ₦5 million on K1.
He added:
“I regret it. You that want to kpai yourself, you don’t deserve us spending money on you. You are supposed to be a role model for crying out loud.”

KWAM 1: NCAA petitions AGF, IGP on prosecution
In an earlier report by Legit.ng, NCAA petitioned the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), Lateef Fagbemi, and the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, to prosecute KWAM 1 over his unruly behaviour at the Abuja airport.
NCAA spokesman Michael Achimugu said Ayinde’s attempt to block a moving ValueJet aircraft violated Nigeria’s civil aviation regulations.
In its letter to the AGF and the IGP, the NCAA called for a “comprehensive criminal investigation and the initiation of appropriate prosecution in accordance with the provisions of the Nigeria Civil Aviation regulations (Nig. CARs) 2023 supra and all other applicable laws”.
