Reports Claim Seun Kuti Walked Out of Pellers Wedding After MC’s Joke Comparing Wizkid and Fela

 

Nigerian musician Seun Anikulapo Kuti has become the subject of online discussions following unverified reports claiming he walked out of a wedding ceremony after the event’s master of ceremonies (MC) allegedly joked that Afrobeats superstar Wizkid is “bigger than Fela Kuti.”

According to the reports circulating on social media, the incident reportedly occurred during the wedding celebration of popular entertainer Peller. Witnesses claimed that Seun Kuti stood up, expressed his displeasure by saying, “We are in the wrong place,” and immediately left the venue.

As of the time of filing this report, neither Seun Kuti nor the event organizers have publicly confirmed or denied the alleged incident.

The reports have since sparked mixed reactions online. While some social media users argued that Seun Kuti had every right to defend the legacy of his father, the late Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo Kuti, others maintained that the MC’s remark was merely intended as entertainment and should not have been taken seriously.

The incident has also reignited debates over the influence of different generations of Nigerian music icons, with many emphasizing that comparing artists from different eras remains subjective.

Lagostrend Media will continue to monitor the story and provide updates should official statements emerge from those involved.
