Fuji music legend, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, popularly known as K1 De Ultimate, shared a touching yet humorous exchange with President Bola Tinubu during a phone call on Saturday.

The President had reached out to commiserate with the music icon over the loss of his beloved mother in a video monitored by Persecondnews on Saturday.

Tinubu extended his condolences and prayed for the repose of K1’s mother’s soul, urging him to accept the loss as the will of God.

The President, who has long shared a cordial relationship with the Fuji maestro, spoke with empathy and offered words of comfort.

“May her soul rest in perfect peace,” Tinubu said warmly. “I know how painful it is to lose a mother, but I pray that God grants you the fortitude to bear this loss. Take heart, Wasiu.”

As the conversation unfolded, Tinubu, known for his witty sense of humour, lightened the mood with a jovial remark.

“You will not suffer because you have lost your mother. God will protect you. Don’t forget you have me, your President.”

The comment drew laughter from K1, who reciprocated with his own dose of humour and gratitude.

“Akanbi, you are the President of Nigeria. I can’t ever suffer because my mother is gone. I am your son, and you are my father. It’s your duty to take care of me!” he replied, his voice brimming with playful affection.

“As long as you are President, I cannot suffer. Nigeria cannot suffer,” he declared, adding, “With you in charge, there is hope for all of us.”

Their light-hearted banter continued as K1 jokingly threatened to hold Tinubu accountable if he ever found himself in distress.

“You can’t be President and watch me suffer, o. It’s not possible! You’re my backbone now,” he quipped, prompting another burst of laughter on both ends.

The call, which could have been a somber moment, was infused with warmth and camaraderie, reflecting the strong bond between the two figures.

K1, who has always been vocal about his admiration for Tinubu, used the opportunity to reaffirm his support for the President’s vision for Nigeria.

“Baba, with you as President, we are on the path to greatness. My mother may be gone, but I am at peace knowing Nigeria is in your hands,” K1 said with conviction.

K1’s response was both heartfelt and humorous: “If I ever feel like suffering, I’ll just remind you of this call! Thank you, Mr. President.”
