In a pre-recorded interview broadcast by Agbaletu TV on Wednesday, K1 disclosed that he took the initiative to formally establish the Fuji Musicians Association of Nigeria, registering it with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) and crafting its constitution independently.
Emphasising his significant contributions to the genre, K1 responded to criticism from some individuals, pointing out that those who portray him in a negative light often overlook the sacrifices he made to bring Fuji music into the national spotlight.
He partly said, “When I had the privilege to make Fuji music mine, I didn’t do so. I registered Fuji music with the Corporate Affairs Commission as the Fuji Musicians Association of Nigeria, with the genre officially titled Fuji.
“I also wrote the Constitution single-handedly. They wrote it in my house. I remember constituting the Constitution Drafting Committee.
“Fancia Alamu, Muhideen Ashekun, Waheed Akangbe as interim president, and Kolotiti as secretary. My personal secretary was responsible for compiling their deliberations. The meeting was held in the presence of my lawyer, Shola Abidakun.
“People say Wasiu is not good, but I did everything. God used me to do many things for Fuji music. What have I been paid with? These are things I didn’t want to speak about before now. Despite my efforts, they haven’t made a real impact on Fuji, yet they continue to call me all sorts of names.
“I became the King of Fuji music because there was a squabble between Kollington and Barrister. So, in an attempt to avoid conflict after crowning one over the other, the organisers chose me, particularly to please my boss.”
