The Freelance and Independent Broadcasters Association of Nigeria has called on the Alaafin of Oyo Oba Lamidi Adeyemi to strip Fuji singer K1 De Ultimate of his title as Mayegun of Yorubaland.

The group made the call on Friday in Abeokuta, Ogun State

They alleged that K1 brutalised an Ogun State-based broadcaster Wole Sorunke alias MC Murphy at the 60th birthday party of the Olu of Itori Oba Abdulfatai Akamo in the Ewekoro Local Government Area of Ogun State.

K1 and Murphy were both invited to the party to perform as musician and compere respectively.

FIBAN President Desmond Nwachukwu said K1’s conduct was a mockery of Yoruba race, and that the incident had been reported to security agencies. They also threatened legal action.

“We would like to tell His Majesty that it is not too late to strip him of that title. We have to understand that this is Yorubaland and this is where culture and tradition are held with a lot of candour,” he said.

Murphy, a popular radio personality, said the feud began after K1 snubbed his client Fasina Olajide whom he took up stage to be eulogised by Ayinde as is customary of Fuji singers.

Murphy said after the attack, K1 apologised to him.

K1’s media manager Kunle Rasheed, when contacted, said in a text message to PUNCH: “Nothing of such happened. Anything that happened to him (Murphy) has nothing to do with Alhaji (K1)
