King Malaika’s 50th Birthday
King Malaika turned 50 and Lagos turned out. A royal birthday celebration at the Oriental Hotel, packaged by Hunter TV Africa.
How King Malaika’s 50th Birthday came together.
Abiola Oderinde, Founder, Hunter TV Africa
This was not a concert. This was a coronation. King Malaika — KS1 — turned 50 years old, and we gave him the birthday the title demands.
The room was draped in royalty — KS1 arrived in full traditional regalia, sceptre in hand, and the crowd rose as one. This wasn’t just a birthday party; it was a statement about where Fuji music stands in Nigerian culture.
Not to be confused with The Phenomena — Wasiu Ayinde’s 50 Years On Stage, which was a separate anniversary concert in August 2022. This was Malaika’s personal milestone, and we were honoured to package it.
