Every 15th of October is a special day for Fuji musician King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall alias K1 De Ultimate.
Why? The 63-year-old gets to celebrate three important people in his life on their birthdays – the Alaafin of Oyo Oba Lamidi Adeyemi; his own mother Halimat Boluade who is married to a prince from Fidipote Ruling House of Ijebuland; and his daughter Baseerat Marshal.
