Tension at Airport as ValueJet Plane Nearly Hits KWAM 1 After Alleged Alcohol Incident with Staff

By Pulse Daily News | August 7, 2025

Lagos, Nigeria – A dramatic airport incident involving Fuji legend King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, popularly known as K1 De Ultimate, has sparked widespread reactions after a video surfaced showing the musician narrowly escaping a moving aircraft on the tarmac.

The video, which has now gone viral, follows allegations that KWAM 1 poured alcohol on a ValueJet staff member while trying to board a flight from Lagos. According to reports, the confrontation began after he attempted to board Flight VK 201 with a liquid substance suspected to be alcohol — a violation of airline policy.

In a press release reportedly issued by the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), the airline stated that K1 had been warned about bringing the alcohol on board. However, he allegedly ignored the directive and proceeded toward the aircraft. While being held back by staff, he reportedly spilled alcohol on one of the employees.

The situation escalated when, moments later, KWAM 1 was seen dangerously close to the aircraft as it began to taxi. The viral footage shows him dodging the plane’s movement — a moment that left many viewers stunned.

In response, ValueJet has confirmed the suspension of the two pilots involved in the incident, pending further investigation into their conduct. Many online users accused the pilots of acting recklessly and taking the situation personally.

Mixed Reactions Trail the Incident

The episode has stirred debate across social media. While some fans defended the singer, others criticized both parties involved for unprofessional behavior.

@Kolaqhazim commented: “This kind of behavior is not acceptable from a public figure.”

@GbenroAdegbola added: “Irresponsible behavior on both sides. But more on the pilot, who must be accountable for passenger safety.”

@hillcrestfo wrote: “Security should have handled the issue properly. You don’t endanger someone’s life over a disagreement.”

Still, some netizens blamed KWAM 1’s alleged arrogance, pointing to his ties to powerful political figures and recent controversies surrounding his personal life.

This incident follows closely on the heels of KWAM 1’s emotional appearance at a wedding ceremony, just hours after burying his 105-year-old mother. Despite his grief, the singer was seen performing at the event — a move that drew mixed feelings from fans.

Investigation Ongoing

While FAAN and ValueJet have yet to release full details of the internal investigation, the incident has raised serious concerns about airport safety protocols and the conduct of both airline staff and high-profile passengers.
