Have
you heard the big news that K1, the King of Fuji music has started work on a
new video to help push his popular Ade-Ori Okin song which has been rocking the
music scene for over a year now?
Going by the huge success that the song has received, K1 has decided not to release any new song for now, so as not to kill the trending song, but to push out a video to back up the music. Not only that. He is also coming up with a dance step to match the song.
We
can tell you for free that K1 is very happy that his song Ade-Ori Okin is doing
well in the market. “It gladdens my heart that the Ade Ori Okin track has done
so well in my lifetime and in my old age. Not many musicians enjoy that
Grace."
"All
I want to do is to increase the tempo. That song is trending madly. It is world
acclaimed internationally. It is widely accepted internationally. When things
like this happen, for the artiste, it is always advisable to let the song keep
trending until it gets to the peak."
"You
can’t replicate it immediately. So, we are working on the Video and dance step.
Because we don’t have the video and dance step, everybody has been freestyling
on it. We are coming up with the video before the end of the year. We are
releasing a well packaged musical video and the dance step to go with it.”Truly
so. City People gathered that K1 is working with a reputable music company on
this.
What
inspired him to compose the song, we asked him? What also made him sing the
song, Olofo lo nbinu Ologo? "Olofo lo nbinu Ologo has to do with how
someone who has never achieved Greatness in his or her life, will see someone
who is achieving Greatness and be envious. The lesson is to Always Rejoice with
those God has done something good for, if not you can’t receive blessings. It
is only Olofo eeyan that will be angry with someone God has blessed. That is
the message."
What
I don’t have today, I can have tomorrow. When I have it tomorrow it is exciting
to me. That is when I got mine. If you see what someone else has and you want
it, pray for it and work for it."
Talking
of Ade Ori Okin. What's the message? What
does Ade Ori Okin signify? “Ade Ori Okin is the crown on the Peacock. For you
to understand it you have to go and buy the Peacock and study it and see it
yourself. To every Peacock that comes to this world, it comes to this world with
a crown (Ade) Okin ti gbe Ade re wa from heaven. My song is not for every bird.
Anytime I am on stage saying that I always put my hand in the middle of my head
to show my fans that the crown is always on the head of a Peacock."
"Each
person comes to this world with his own unique crown. Religion tells us that
everything you will become on earth you will begin to like it once you are
born. You come with it. You are born with it Iseda, Akole."
"Yes.
Some people specialise in changing other peoples destinies (Kadara). That is why
we pray against such devilish people. Awon a ba te ni je. Once they see that
you are an Omo Ologo they can change it spiritually to harm you. That is why we
need to keep praying”.
“I
am very happy about the song. I got the inspiration from our environment and
from experience. The way the world is right now, we need to call people to
order to know that if people belittle you, don’t let their action dampen your
spirit, don’t let their actions or things they say demoralise you."
"Keep
the flag flying. Keep the flag afloat."
"In
anything we do, we need the Grace of God. Grace comes from God. It is not by
your doing. If you are successful it is not you doing it by yourself.
Everything is by God. It’s God doing. Anu Ni Mo Ri Gba."
"When
a song is good, it is good. For music to be good and for it to enjoy wide
acceptability, it is usually a combination of 2 things - the Lyrics and the
Melody. The Lyrics must be rich and you have to lace them with a beautiful melody.
Once you do that as a musician, your song will command instant acceptability.
Having good lyrics and melody is what usually leads to an instant hit."
"That
is what happened in the hit song Ade-Ori Okin. The message is deep. The message
of the song is touching. The lyrics liken it to a true-life situation."
His
popular song “Ade Ori Okin” was released during the first quarter of 2020 and
it enjoyed massive acceptance. Even during Covid-19 in April, many who had
their birthdays used it as a track to praise God for his fairness to them.
Even
many elites embraced the song more and this opened many doors of achievement
for the Fuji King. This song “Ade-Ori okin” also made K1 the number one choice
of the rich elites. Believe it or not, many rich elites rarely listen to Fuji
music except it is K1.
The
success of the song has been a big boost for K1’s music career. Once the song
became a big hit, many of his fans wanted K1 to play at their parties.
And
they are ready to pay any amount to have K1 perform LIVE at their shows.
One
other thing that has helped K1’s career now that he would soon be 65 is his new
title of Maiyegun of Yorubaland. That title has upped the game for K1. The
Wasiu of yesterday or K1 of yesterday will definitely change to the new K1 or
Wasiu of today because he has become the Maiyegun of Yorubaland.
Call
him one of the most blessed artistes in Nigeria and you won’t be wrong.
K1
has become the most sought after musician in Nigeria. He is now the only
musician who performs every day including weekdays. It is as if no party is
complete without King Wasiu Ayinde, as many celebrities don’t fix a date for
their parties without first consulting the Oluaye Fuji. What they do is they
approach him with 3 dates in mind and they ask him to tell them when he can
accommodate them.
And
wait for this! He doesn’t come cheap. For you to get K1 to consider your
request for him to perform you will be talking of N4 million, reveals a source.
But he can come down slightly if you are his friend or you come through someone
he has tremendous respect for, after so much pleading. That shows how most
sought-after he is.
What
happens now is that many celebrities often let K1 give them a date. They will
simply give him an idea of their desired month, and possible dates and he will
check his diary and give them a date that he is free to accommodate them.
He
has also become the artiste that commands high patronage in terms of the huge
sums they spray him at parties. On a good day, K1 attracts close to N3 million
on stage. Once the Big Boys and Babes know that it is K1 on the bandstand they
usually storm the party prepared with bulk sums. No Big Boy or Babe steps on
stage to spray K1 without having at least 1.5m in his pocket. That assures you
at least 45 minutes of non-stop praise-singing.
Let's
also add that there have been times he even plays 2-times a day. There was a
day he played in Ota and left for Lagos to play at Radisson Blu that evening.
His
last major work E Ma Yo Nu Si Mi has become a national anthem and it has been
the dominant song for the past 2 years. All the DJs are hooked on it. So, it is
on their playlist at clubs and parties. The track is danceable and it is an
Alujo.
Why
is everyone crazy about K1’s music? City People gathered that it is because of
the unique nature of his music. He has over the years transformed his kind of
music. Like he himself once sang, he has added a lot of sweetness to the way he
sings. His composition also is unique. He takes his time to compose.
He
has also become at peace with himself musically.
He
is blessed with a good and unique voice. How did he get that inspiration to put
together the song? What do you have in your stomach? Ki Le Gbe Si Ikun?
(Laughs)
What I have in my stomach is the truth (Otito Inu) I am the same action man,
very serious in all I do. I criticise myself. All I want to do, I subject them
to criticism. I criticise them like somebody is criticising me. Whatever you
are doing that you don’t do checks and balances, then you have lost it. I am
not that perfect, but I have the Grace of God, and at the same time, I have good
people around me, that we deliberate together. I have no secret to hide, so I
talk a lot in the presence of a lot of people. I don’t have a hidden secret.
Nothing is hidden. God sees all of us. I have Oto Inu. I am a frank person. I
will tell you as it is. The inspiration definitely must come because I make use
of my brain at all times. I don’t like dull moments. I can’t be caged. I want
to be in the midst of people at all times. I want to be free. I want to be in a
place where I can move freely. All that happens around me keeps me going.
As the year 2021 is about to round up King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal has remained the No 1
musician for the rich and high and mighty.
