Wasiu Ayinde Marshal aka K1 De Ultimate Yoruba popular Fuji musician, Wasiu Ayinde Marshal who is popularly known as K1 De Ultimate, has canceled his 67th birthday celebration.
The music star stated that the unresolved economic hardship hitting residents of Nigeria is responsible for his decision.
K1 De Ultimate throws a very large carnival every year to mark his birthday, however, the recent rise in the market prices of food items and other essential commodities in the market has sent the music icon a strong signal about the necessity to cancel the annual carnival for the celebration of his birthday.
In a statement released by Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, aka K1 De Ultimate, yesterday, Thursday, February 29, his March 03 birthday celebration was canceled to honor vulnerable Nigerians who need help. He, however, encouraged his fans to help those in need in commemoration of his birthday.
He said: “To the glory of God Almighty, I shall be turning 67 years on this planet earth on 3rd of March 2024.
“A joyous day for me, that many of my friends and associates across the globe usually joined with me and my family to celebrate.
“My fans both home and abroad always make the best out of that day in history.
“Now that the day is near and inside of me, there is nothing much happening in our country Nigeria to warrant me celebrating at this point.
“Many people are praying for survival at this point, to feed well is a big issue for many, and as someone who benefits from many of these people crying and lamenting, I share in their pains and see no reason I should be celebrating.
“Yes, I agree what our country is going through now is not permanent and the government is trying in a possible way to get things fixed I believe God Almighty shall open ways and better direction for the leadership of our dear country.
“I, hereby, implore and request all my loved ones, instead of coming to celebrate, eat, and drink at this time, please choose this my coming birthday celebration to help someone nearer to you.
”To at least secure a better living at this critical period of our nation’s travails to share however small the gift to people.
“God Almighty shall replenish your pockets in multiple folds as you choose to get along with me on this.
“I thank you immensely and I shall live to appreciate you all so very much till my last day on this planet Earth,” the statement reads. (NAN)
