Wizkid is my friend’ – Yeni Kuti reacts amid ongoing feud
Yeni Kuti, the eldest daughter of the late Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo Kuti, has spoken out amid the ongoing online feud between her brother, Seun Kuti, and Nigerian music superstar Wizkid.
Reacting to the controversy, Yeni made it clear that despite the public disagreement between the two artistes, her personal relationship with Wizkid remains intact. According to her, the singer is a longtime friend, stressing that differences of opinion between public figures should not automatically be extended to family members.
Yeni’s comments come as social media continues to buzz over exchanges linked to Seun Kuti and Wizkid, a situation that has drawn reactions from fans of both camps. While Seun is known for his outspoken political and social commentary, Wizkid is one of Africa’s biggest music exports, making the feud a major talking point online.
By distancing herself from the dispute, Yeni Kuti emphasized the importance of separating personal relationships from public disagreements. She also appeared to call for calm, suggesting that not every conflict needs to escalate into broader divisions.
As of the time of this report, neither Seun Kuti nor Wizkid has publicly responded to Yeni Kuti’s remarks, but the feud continues to generate debate across social media platforms.
