How my mother was denied opportunity to sing because she was princess – K1 De Ultimate

Fuji icon Wasiu Ayinde, popularly known as KWAM 1 or K1 De Ultimate, has revealed that his late mother, Halima Anifowoshe, played a significant role in his musical career.

The 68-year-old veteran disclosed that his mother taught him the rudiments of music and served as his composer during her lifetime.

Speaking during the podcast show for his latest project, Ganusi The Album Fuji Classical, K1 De Ultimate explained that his mother’s contributions to his career success made him dedicate the song “Mama” from the album to her.

He stated that his mother wanted to be a musician as a young maiden but was prevented because of her royal background and for being a woman.

He said, “The song ‘Mama’ is to the memory of my mother who also taught me about the rudiments of music and singing. My mother as a young maiden lady was a singer, a princess by birth that was denied the opportunity of showing dexterity in music because of what she was; a princess of a sitting king and so also a woman whom they want her to settle in marriage.

“But everything [my mother’s talent] was transported on me by God. She transferred it to me and oftentimes she served as my composer, very many times during her lifetime. She made her own contribution into my musical development. So, I think it’s honourable for me to remember her and have a blessed track for her.”

K1 De Ultimate lost his mother, Princess Halima Anifowoshe, in January 2025.
