She stated that many of the fans using Fela’s name knew little about him or the Kuti family but still spoke carelessly.
While admitting she enjoys Wizkid’s music, she dismissed the him as not a true musician because he does not play any instrument, insisting that was not the real reason for her anger.
According to Motunrayo, the main problem was Wizkid FC repeatedly comparing the singer to Fela, which she described as disrespectful to her father’s legacy.

The rant also focused heavily on Wizkid’s family background, especially his relationship with his father.
Motunrayo Kuti accused Wizkid’s father of abandoning him and his mother, forcing the singer to struggle before finding success.
She questioned why Wizkid FC ignored this issue and instead focused on dragging Fela’s name into online arguments.
She ended the rant with harsh words for the singer's fanbase, calling them “senseless nitwits” and urging them to remove Fela’s name from their discussions.

"This one no just get sense…make Fela FC go abuse Wizkid papa now abi Fela no get fans?"
@btunddej commented:
"Hello Auntie, I was disappointed to see you take sides, but I'll keep this brief. A singer is a musician even without playing an instrument, because the human voice is an instrument. Music isn't defined only by physical instruments. So yes, you don't need to play piano, guitar, or drums to be a musician. But the depth of musicianship often depends on how much creative and technical control the artist actually has over the music."
