The internet has a way of connecting dots, especially when controversy strikes. This week, as Fuji legend K1 De Ultimate grapples with a six-month aviation ban, an old video has emerged that paints a more complete picture of the man behind the headlines.
The clip shows a tender moment between the music icon and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu – a phone call that came during one of K1’s darkest hours.
The president had reached out to console the grieving son after the death of his beloved mother, Alhaja Halima Shadiya Anifowoshe, who had lived an extraordinary 105 years.
“Why will I suffer? You are the president. Thank you very much, sir,” K1 responds in the video, his voice carrying the weight of both grief and gratitude.
It’s a raw, human moment – a son finding comfort in unexpected places during his time of loss.
But the internet rarely lets touching moments stand alone.
As the video spread, many began drawing lines between this presidential connection and K1’s recent airport drama that led to his ban.
The speculation was swift and, at times, brutal.
“Probably, that inspired him to try blocking a jet from taxiing off,” joked one observer, referencing the incident that landed the musician in hot water with aviation authorities.
Others couldn’t help but marvel at how close things came to disaster. “The way they dodged that plane still cracks me up.
Even I had to duck my head watching it. That was way too close,” another commenter noted, mixing humor with genuine concern.
