K1 Denies Marriage Crisis, Affirms Emmanuella as His Only Wife
According to Stella Dimoko Korkus, Exclusive interview with K1.
Legendary Fuji maestro, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, popularly known as K 1, has debunked swirling rumours about a marital fallout with his wife, Emmanuella Ropo. In an exclusive interview with Stella Dimoko Korkus, the music icon firmly stated that there is no crisis in his marriage and clarified that Emmanuella remains his only wife.
Responding to inquiries about alleged issues in the marriage, K 1 explained, “I do not have any problem with Emmanuella. The only kind of misunderstanding one might have in a relationship is around the boundaries or rules you’re trying to put in place.”
He went on to reveal that his intense focus on a massive ongoing resort project may have contributed to a temporary strain. “I’m currently building a huge resort. I needed to isolate myself and avoid distractions. I told my wife to focus on her business and leave social media, while I concentrate on the project. In the end, the joy will be for both of us,” he said.
When asked to clarify if Emmanuella remains his only wife, K 1 responded without hesitation: “Yes, she is the only one.”
Addressing speculation about his intentions to take another wife, he dismissed the rumours. “I don’t have any intentions. What lies ahead of me is bigger than just thinking of marriage again. I’m 68 years old. I’m investing heavily in business and farming aside from music. Marriage is not my focus,” he said.
Commenting on reports that Emmanuella may have been uncomfortable with other women around him, K1 replied, “It’s natural for a woman to feel jealous. But she brought this [public perception] upon herself with her social media activities. I didn’t do anything wrong. She’s a mother of grown-up children in the university; we should be thinking beyond social media drama.”
He also debunked viral claims that he had married a new wife, following a circulating video of a woman dancing to one of his songs. “Must I marry everyone I associate with? The lady is not my wife, and I haven’t married a new wife. People should stop the assumptions,” he said, adding that the false speculation must have embarrassed the woman in question.
“I’m not going to lie to you. I have nothing to hide. I won’t be granting any further interviews on this matter,” K1 concluded.
