Nollywood actress Dayo Amusa has addressed and dismissed the swirling rumors suggesting a romantic relationship between her and Fuji music icon King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, popularly known as K1 De Ultimate. In a recent interview on Oyinmomo TV, Amusa set the record straight, emphasizing that their connection is built on deep mutual respect rather than romance.
Speaking candidly during the interview, Amusa explained that people often jump to conclusions whenever they see a close relationship between a man and a woman. “Just because two people share a bond doesn’t mean it’s romantic,” she stated. She further clarified that K1 is more than just a friend to her—she considers him a mentor, a father figure, and a guiding force in her life.
The actress went on to express her deep gratitude for K1’s unwavering support throughout her career. She revealed that during some of her most challenging moments, the Fuji music legend provided the encouragement and strength she needed to push forward. According to her, his influence helped her overcome obstacles and continue pursuing her dreams despite setbacks.
Amusa also acknowledged that she understands why people might misinterpret their relationship, but she remains unbothered by the speculation. “Someone who has stood by me through thick and thin deserves to be cherished, regardless of what outsiders think,” she said firmly. She maintained that their bond is purely platonic and based on mutual admiration and respect.
This clarification follows a heated social media exchange in November 2024 when Amusa found herself at the center of controversy regarding the identity of her newborn’s father. What began as a moment of celebration soon turned into a frenzy of online speculation, fueled by controversial blogger Auto Bola, who continuously pressured Amusa to reveal the father of her child.
The gossip escalated when Auto Bola insinuated that K1 De Ultimate was the father, further fueling the rumors. The actress, however, firmly shut down the speculation at the time, refusing to be drawn into the controversy. Now, with her latest statement, she has once again reiterated that there is no romantic involvement between her and the Fuji music star.
