According to The Sun Nigeria, Veteran Fuji musician, Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, widely known as K1 De Ultimate, has revealed that his spiritual journey led him to the Celestial Church of Christ (CCC), despite his background as a Muslim.
In an interview with Agbaletu TV on Wednesday, the 68-year-old music icon spoke candidly about his search for a deeper connection with God, which ultimately drew him to the white garment church.
“I attend Celestial Church. I am a bona fide member of the Celestial Church. A proud one. In fact, I built a church,” he said. “I sought different religions while trying to know God in both popular religions. There’s nowhere I didn’t try to find God.”
K1 added that his decision was born out of personal conviction rather than public expectation. He emphasized that spiritual exploration had always been part of his journey, regardless of his upbringing.
The singer made headlines earlier this year following a public dispute with some Islamic clerics ahead of his mother’s funeral. The incident, which sparked controversy, saw him use the term “ganusi” a phrase many interpreted as derogatory. The comment drew backlash from Islamic leaders in the South West and North Central regions.
Despite the criticism, K1 De Ultimate remains unapologetic about his faith journey, standing firm in his decision to embrace the Celestial Church while maintaining his respect for Islam.
