Fuji icon K1 De Ultimate thrilled fans at the fifth edition of New Year Fest (New Year Fest 5.0) in Victoria Island, Lagos, with a surprise tribute to Afrobeats superstar Wizkid, delivered live via FaceTime.
The moment happened on Thursday night as K1 connected with Wizkid on video call while praising him. As Fuji drums rolled and cheers filled the venue, K1 hailed the Starboy in real time, blending tradition with modern pop culture in a way only he could.
