Since it was reported earlier in the week that veteran Fuji singer, K1 de Ultimate, had travelled to Canada for medical reasons, fans have been worried about his health.  

However, in a chat with Sunday Scoop, K1 de Ultimate’s manager, Azeez Kareem, stated that there was no need to panic as the Fuji singer only took a rest. He said, “He (K1) only travelled to Canada to rest. You know he has been playing since last year. He wanted to go late last year but his daughter’s death changed everything. He had to stay back, picked himself up and did some jobs that came his way.”

Kareem rubbished insinuations that the trip was facilitated so that K1 could see doctors concerning a corrective surgery he underwent on his lungs some years ago. He said, “It is just a two-week break and nothing more. Usually, he routinely goes for check-ups but this trip has nothing to do with any health issue.

“For now, we don’t have any shows booked. Our next event is on April 15 and K1 would return on April 14.  If he is seriously ill, he wouldn’t have performed non-stop shortly before he left the country. I don’t know what gave certain people the impression that he is sick.”
