Fuji singer, K1 De Ultimate declares himself member of celestial church
Says he built a parish
Legendary Fuji musician, Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, popularly known as K1 De Ultimate, has openly declared his affiliation with the Celestial Church of Christ (CCC), stating that he is a bona fide and proud member of the white-garment church.
Despite being a Muslim, K1 shared his deep connection to the Celestial Church during a pre-recorded interview with Agbaletu TV on Wednesday.
The CCC, widely known as “Cele,” was founded by the late Samuel Oshoffa. Its worshippers are known for wearing white robes and observing strict worship practices, including removing footwear before entering the church or wearing their garments.
According to the Fuji icon, his spiritual journey led him to explore both Islam and Christianity in a bid to truly know God. He proudly revealed that he not only joined the Celestial Church but also built a parish.
“I attend the Celestial Church. I’m a bona fide and proud member. In fact, I built a church,” he said.
“I sought God in different religions—Islam and Christianity. There’s nowhere I didn’t go looking for God.”
This revelation comes in the wake of recent controversy involving K1’s use of the now-viral phrase “Ganusi” while speaking about some Islamic clerics (alfas) ahead of his mother’s burial. The comment sparked backlash, with many interpreting it as a slight suggesting that some clerics attend ceremonies only for monetary benefits.
Despite calls for an apology, K1 stood by his statement, asserting that he meant no harm and saw no reason to apologise.
His spiritual openness adds a new dimension to his public persona, as fans and critics continue to weigh in on his religious journey and public remarks.
