The Mayegun of Yorubaland, Fuji music icon, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, popularly known as K1 De Ultimate, has explained his 67th birthday will not be business as usual due to the challenging economy facing Nigeria.

K1 announced the cancellation of his annual carnival celebration in a statement on his Instagram page.

K1 De Ultimate, whose birthday is on March 3rd, traditionally hosts a grand celebration that attracts friends, associates and fans from across the globe.

However, this year, the musician expressed concern over hardship in the country, emphasising the pressing need to address the basic needs of the less fortunate in society.

The statement reads: “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 in time.

“Many people are praying for survival at this point, to feed well is a big issue for many, and as someone that 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 passing 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 speculation surrounding the nature of Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King’s bond has been a recurring topic, but the influential duo is now setting the record straight.

For those still questioning whether Winfrey and King are a romantic couple, they have put these rumors to rest in a candid interview with Melinda Gates on her “Moments That Make Us” series.

Winfrey reflected, “People have been saying we’re gay for years, and we’ve faced that misconception for a long time. Some people may still believe it.”

Winfrey attributes the persistence of these rumors to the fact that people are unaccustomed to seeing “women with this kind of deep, genuine connection.”

“The key to our enduring friendship is that Gayle is not just happy but genuinely thrilled for me whenever I achieve success or overcome challenges. I feel equally as happy for her, and I believe our mutual support is what makes our bond so strong.”

King humorously chimed in, “I used to tell Oprah, ‘You should do a show about this, because it’s already tough for me to get a date on Saturday nights when people think we’re gay.’ If we were gay, we’d be open about it.”

King continued, “I always assumed that everyone had a close friend like that. I thought every woman, at least, had someone like that in their life.”
