There was a wide report that Seun Kuti walked out on Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, during his sister Yeni-Kuti's 60th birthday celebration at the Afrikan Shrine earlier this year.

Legit.ng later reported that the celebrant, Yeni, cleared the air that Seun did not disrespect the governor or walked out on him and pleaded that her brother has home training.

She maintained that what happened was the security aides of the governor, who were only doing their job, pushed Seun's wife and he got upset about it.
