“You Brought This Embarrassment To Your Family”: Yhemolee Blasts Seun Kuti
Yhemolee has lambasted Seun Kuti for being responsible for the disrespect to his family amid his heated banter with Wizkid FC. The nightlife personality’s comment followed Wizkid’s heated reaction to Seun Kuti over his relentless clash with the Ojuelegba singer’s fans. Yhemolee’s two cents has since generated a wave of reactions from many who share a similar point of view with his take.
Popular nightlife influencer Idowu Adeyemi, popularly known as Yhemolee, has weighed in on the heated online clash between singer Ibrahim ‘Wizkid’ Balogun and Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo-Kuti’s son, Seun Kuti, blaming the latter for how the drama spiralled out of control.
The issue started after Wizkid’s fans, popularly known as Wizkid FC, began comparing the Grammy-winning singer to Fela, a comparison that has long annoyed Seun. In response, Seun took to social media to defend his late father’s legacy, insisting that Fela should not be dragged into fans’ debates.
Things quickly escalated when Wizkid fired back, describing Seun as “a fool at 40.” Seun did not take the insult lightly and replied by saying his father’s legacy is what Wizkid is using to feed his family, further fuelling the controversy.
As the exchange dominated social media, Yhemolee joined the conversation with a lengthy rant on his Snapchat page, where he placed the blame squarely on Seun Kuti. According to him, many of the Wizkid fans Seun was attacking don’t even know much about Fela or his music.
Yhemolee argued that Wizkid is the “G.O.A.T” to his fans because they grew up with his songs, from “Holla at Your Boy” to his recent hits. He pointed out that even some older Nigerians only know about Fela through history lessons or brief exposure, adding that many people cannot name more than one Fela song but can sing hundreds of Wizkid’s tracks from start to finish.
He also criticised Seun for repeatedly addressing online trolls on camera, saying the younger generation has little regard for anyone’s parents and that engaging with them publicly only brought embarrassment to the Kuti family. Yhemolee claimed that this was the first time he had seen Fela’s name disrespected so openly online and blamed Seun for drawing attention to it.
In his words:
“No be only you be Fela piken!! Only you won face FC? How? Wetin you chop?? Rage baited wiz till e burst out!! And everybody know sey the man mouth worst! Fela died 29yrs ago!! Who dem born that same year self would be 30yrs next year. But you are fighting teenagers and Gen Z’s that know absolutely nothing about him.. Make it make sense.” He ended his rant by advising Seun to step away from the drama, suggesting he focus on his music and leave Wizkid FC alone.

Grammy Award-winning Nigerian Afrobeats star Ayodeji Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid, closed the 2026 edition of the Afro Plus Fest in Maryland, United States, on Sunday, marking 15 years since his breakthrough in the music industry.
The 35-year-old singer headlined the final night of the three-day festival, which ran from 4 to 6 September at the Northwest Stadium Complex in Landover, Maryland.
Wizkid’s performance carried added significance as he celebrated a decade and a half in the industry, having first risen to prominence with the hit “Holla at Your Boy” from his 2011 debut album, Superstar.
Wizkid, who shared the stage with a global line-up of Afrobeats, dancehall and hip-hop artists, delivered a mix of career-defining tracks that had the crowd singing along.
The performance included “In My Bed,” “Daddy Yo,” “Bad to Me,” “Slow Down,” “Caro,” “Essence,” “Alaye,” “Jogodo,” “Money Constant,” and “Ojuelegba.”
Since his breakthrough in the industry, Wizkid has built one of the most decorated careers in African music, becoming the first Nigerian artist to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 as a co-writer and featured artist on Drake’s “One Dance.”
His catalogue includes albums such as Ayo, Made in Lagos, More Love, Less Ego and Morayo.
Wizkid has also won a Grammy Award for his contribution to Beyoncé’s “Brown Skin Girl” and is the most-streamed African artist on platforms such as Spotify. His Tems-assisted hit “Essence” achieved massive global crossover success.
The artist’s appearance as the final-night headliner underscored both his influence on Afrobeats and the rapid growth of Afro Plus Fest into a major diaspora gathering.
Official announcements for the festival featured Nigerian superstar Davido as the Friday headliner, Jamaican dancehall artiste Alkaline on Saturday, and Wizkid closing on Sunday, with additional acts including Lil Baby, Latto, Tems, Ayra Starr, Tiwa Savage, Olamide and Adekunle Gold among others.
Billed as the largest Afro-Caribbean-Hip Hop festival, the 2026 edition reportedly expanded to a three-day format across two stages, drawing a projected 40,000 fans daily.
Reflecting on the festival’s growth, Founder and Executive Producer Michael Awosanya noted in an earlier statement that the event had evolved into a global diaspora movement.
“The block party we dreamed about for a decade became a reality, and it exceeded every expectation. This sold-out debut proved that Afro Plus Fest is not just an event — it’s a movement. This was only the beginning. Afro Plus Fest is here to stay,” Awosanya stated.
