I built a Celestial Church – K1 De Ultimate

Legendary Fuji musician, Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, popularly known as K1 De Ultimate, has revealed that his deep desire to build a personal relationship with God led him to the Celestial Church of Christ (CCC), despite being born a Muslim.

Speaking in a candid interview with Agbaletu TV on Wednesday, the 68-year-old music icon disclosed that he is a proud and devoted member of the Celestial Church and even went as far as establishing a branch of the ministry.

“I attend Celestial Church. I am a bonafide member, a proud one. In fact, I built a church,” he said. “I sought different religions while trying to know God. There’s no place I didn’t go in my search for Him.”

K1’s revelation has stirred renewed public interest in his faith journey, particularly following a controversy earlier this year involving Islamic clerics. In the build-up to his mother’s funeral in January, the singer clashed with some clerics, coining the term “ganusi” — a phrase perceived as derogatory — which drew heavy backlash from Islamic communities in the South West and North Central regions.

While the controversy remains fresh in the minds of many, K1 De Ultimate appears focused on his spiritual path, embracing what he calls a personal and meaningful connection with God through the Celestial Church.
