March 18, (THEWILL) – Alhaji Ayinde Marshal, better known as K1 De Ultimate, has revealed that he wouldn’t have been successful, if he had taken to drugs.
He made it known at an inaugural edition of a colloquium he organised in honor of Fuji icon, Sikiru Ayinde Barrister, held at Raddison Blu, Ikeja, Lagos State.
He lamented about the use of drugs among contemporary musician. He said the society should come together and discourage such practice by educating them about it.
“I don’t smoke. I doubt if anyone has ever seen me smoke before. The issue of drugs goes beyond smoking alone. Today, people inject themselves with different kinds of substances. So, we need to educate each other.
“The young ones should take their future serious. If I had been a drug user, I probably don’t feel I would be where I am today. I wouldn’t be here because it wouldn’t take one far.
While talking about the event, he said the initiative was birthed to create a platform for discussing issues that can develop the society.
“What informs a better society is that when there is avenue for talks, such discussion usually open our eyes into many things.”
He praised the heroic deeds of the late Fuji icon saying, “Ayinde is to Fuji what Bob Marley is to Reggae.
He (Barrister Ayinde) was the face that attracted a lot of people to the Fuji music genre. We should be able to create an institution out of the establishment.”
