In a recent interview, the music icon clarified that he didn’t hijack the genre but worked to give it structure and legal recognition. “I didn’t hijack Fuji music. I formalized it,” K1 said. “I registered it officially and even drafted its constitution. They sat in my house to do it.”
He explained that Fuji music was formally registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) under the name “Fuji Music,” and that the Fuji Musicians Association of Nigeria was created to further protect and promote the interests of artists in the genre.
