On August 5, 2025, K1 De Ultimate (King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal) was involved in a controversial incident at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja, where he spilled liquid—alleged by some to be alcohol—on a ValueJet airport officer .
On August 8, 2025, K1 issued a public, unreserved apology, clarifying that the flask in question contained only water, not alcohol. He explained that he suffers from chronic dehydration and that the flask was emptied during security checks and only refilled at the airport lounge.
