On August 5,2025 KWAM1, who was reportedly drinking from a flask aboard a ValueJet aircraft at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport in Abuja, was approached by a flight attendant, who suspected that the content was alcohol.
The attendant was said to have asked the musician to surrender the flask, but he refused, saying it was medication prescribed by his doctor.
An angry KWAM1 proceeded to the front of the aircraft in an attempt to prevent it from taking off.
In a viral video, the musician was seen standing in front of the aircraft, with ground personnel interacting with him.
Shortly, he was seen in the clip dodging the wing of the aircraft as the flight prepared for takeoff in breach of aviation safety rules.
