It was an emotional scene as Fuji music legend Wasiu Ayinde, popularly known as K1 De Ultimate, publicly reunited with his son Malik, born to actress Bisola Badmus.
Videos from Thursday captured the moment K1 embraced his son during a performance, smiling and serenading Malik with praises. The boy, dressed in an all-white outfit, initially appeared reserved but softened as his father whispered to him, marking a long-awaited connection.
The reunion follows months of public debate, with Badmus repeatedly calling on K1 to acknowledge his son. In past interviews, she criticized the singer for not actively participating in Malik’s upbringing.
In 2022, during Malik’s 10th birthday, Badmus described K1 as a “deadbeat father,” noting she had assumed both parental roles. She also shared details about her personal struggles, revealing that K1 initially responded but later became unresponsive, leaving her to manage their child alone.
Social media reactions to the reunion were mixed. Some fans celebrated the emotional moment, while others criticized the public nature of the encounter. Instagram user Caramel Millinery questioned the setting, asking, “Even if he wants to accept and acknowledge the boy, na for party?” Another fan, Teniola Ajanaku, wrote, “I don’t understand why some of you are saying this is beautiful… what is beautiful here?”
The reunion reignites conversations around celebrity responsibility and the challenges of public parenting, highlighting the complex dynamics between fame and family.
