Yeni Kuti Claims Wizkid Crossed The Line By Dragging Fela Into Feud With Seun Kuti
Yeni Kuti has weighed in on the ongoing feud between Seun Kuti and Wizkid, saying the singer went too far by bringing her late father, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, into the conflict. Speaking on TVC’s Your View, she clarified that her feelings toward Wizkid, a longtime friend, are not fueled by hostility, but she was hurt by the perceived disrespect toward Fela. “I love Wizkid a lot, he is my paddy na. He is my small friend,” she said. “I remember when he started at the Shrine, he was a backup singer. I cannot stop liking Wizkid.” However, she expressed disappointment over Fela being mentioned in the drama. “He did too much by insulting my father, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti,” Yeni stated. “If you have a problem with someone, why are you now calling Fela out?”. “I love Wizkid a lot, he’s my friend. I wish at the beginning he’d put a stop to it. We’re just about to celebrate our icon at the Grammy and you’re all fighting. You don’t see Bob Marley people do this.” — Fela Kuti’s daughter, Yeni Kuti speaks about Wizkid & Seun Kuti beef. pic.twitter.com/5USyxhK9z3 — 𝐀𝐬𝐚𝐤𝐲𝐆𝐑𝐍 (@AsakyGRN) January 22, 2026
