A leaked audio clip that recently surfaced on social media captures Fuji icon K1 De Ultimate, also known as Wasiu Ayinde, allegedly issuing a stern warning to the owner of ValueJet, Mr. Kunle Soname.
In the recording, K1 expressed anger over what he described as public humiliation at the hands of the airline’s staff during a recent travel experience.
According to K1, the incident began when ValueJet personnel refused to allow him carry a flask of water onboard. He explained that the water was medically necessary and that he needed to drink it at regular intervals due to his health condition. Despite informing the staff of this, he claimed they ignored his appeal, leading to a confrontation.
He stated that he asked them not to escalate the situation into a nationwide controversy, emphasizing his medical need for the water. However, one staff member allegedly acted on instructions to stop him from boarding, which, he said, triggered the entire episode.
He recounted pouring out the contents of the flask in front of the gathering crowd to prove it was only water, expressing disbelief that he had been subjected to such treatment. K1 said he felt the event had drawn unnecessary public attention and that the staff’s actions had insulted him publicly.
In the audio, he insisted that no one embarrasses him without consequences, stating that his name and reputation carry weight. He said he did not break any rules
He said in part …
“You are not fair, if you were fair you’d know that I am a patient and this is my water. Don’t make it a national issue. That’s what I said to you. If you believe in God, you bring the Bible, Quran ….I said don’t make it a national issue and he said no, and next thing he instructed one person, don’t let him go. And I said oh that’s the way you want it? If that’s the way you want it then, nobody’s going in.
It got to a point it started gathering momentum, people are gathering and I opened this and I poured the content away. I said this is water. How can you embarrass me. We’ll make this a national issue if that’s what you want.
My name is Wasiu Ayinde, nobody does that with me and gets away with it. Nobody. Because I didn’t go to look for trouble. I didn’t bypass queue, I didn’t jump queue. I didn’t do anything. The next thing I got ‘you can’t go on my flight.’ I don’t want to go anymore on that flight any more in my life, then Soname will feel it. Will feel me in his business…”
