‘I Held Water, Not Alcohol’ — Kwam 1 Breaks Silence on Abuja Airport Controversy
Legendary Fuji musician Kwam 1, also known as King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, has finally addressed the growing controversy surrounding a recent incident at the Abuja airport, where he was accused of consuming alcohol in a restricted area.
In a statement released to clear the air, Kwam 1 denied the claims circulating online, insisting that he was holding a bottle of water, not alcohol, at the time of the incident. The singer expressed disappointment over how quickly the narrative was twisted, calling it a deliberate attempt to tarnish his reputation.
According to the music icon, the misunderstanding began when a photo surfaced, showing him with a bottle during what appeared to be a routine airport wait. Social media users were quick to speculate, leading to backlash and public scrutiny.
“I respect rules and regulations, especially in public institutions like airports,” Kwam 1 stated. “What I held was water, not alcohol. The truth should matter.”
Supporters of the veteran artiste have rallied behind him, urging the public to focus on verified facts rather than fueling unfounded allegations.
This isn’t the first time Kwam 1 has found himself in the middle of public debates, but his calm and dignified response has once again reminded fans of his seasoned character and enduring legacy in Nigerian music.
