Yeni Kuti has spoken out about the feud between Seun Kuti and Wizkid, saying the singer went too far by involving her late father, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.
Appearing on TVC’s Your View, she stressed that her feelings toward Wizkid, who has been a longtime friend, are not driven by hostility. Still, 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.”
Yeni expressed disappointment that her father was mentioned in the dispute. “He did too much by insulting my father, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti,” she said. “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.”
