In the video, K1 was seen chatting with a man during the eight-day Fidau prayer. While discussing, he used the phrase “Ga nu si” to refer to some Islamic clerics (Alfas), which quickly buzzed the internet

Many interpreted the remark as suggesting that some Alfas attend such ceremonies primarily for pecuniary gain.

Conversing in his mother tongue, K1 was heard saying:

“Alfas will not go to my father’s house for the party, It’s my house they will “Ga nu si”. Then we prayed in my house before going back to my father’s house for the main party.”

Portable recently shared a video of him dancing to an infectious beat while the lyrics conveyed some of the troubles he has faced recently in his household.

However, what attracted many was how the controversial singer infused “Ganusi” into his song’s chorus which most of his followers found brilliant.
