Seun Kuti, the youngest son of Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti, maintains that his high-profile digital disagreement with Wizkid served a meaningful purpose. During an appearance on the TVC show Your View, titled Inside the Mind of Seun Anikulapo-Kuti, the musician defended his perspective on the controversy, which centered on the preservation of his father’s legacy.
Regarding the online conflict, Seun argued that it is contradictory for individuals to claim alignment with an artist’s ideals while their associates actively diminish that person’s reputation. He stated that this behavior remains unacceptable in his view.
When questioned about the activism of VeryDarkMan, Seun suggested the broadcaster host an interview with him to clarify the nature of his work. Addressing allegations of personal arrogance, Seun denied the characterization, asserting that his confidence stems from knowledge rather than a sense of self-importance. This discussion follows a period of intense public debate regarding Fela Kuti’s influence that began six months ago.
