What Actually Happened at the Wedding

According to Edo Pikin, the only comparisons made during the ceremony were the familiar Wizkid versus Davido and Ronaldo versus Messi debates that often come up at events.

His reference to Baba Fela came during an exchange with the DJ, where he urged the DJ to lower the music volume, joking that the DJ should not "behave like people who say they're bigger than Baba Fela."

He said Seun Kuti reacted before hearing the full statement, became upset, and walked out of the venue. In his words:

"You didn't calm down to listen; you just angrily walked away and missed the rice and pounded yam and all the sweet food served at the wedding. Next time, calm down and listen deep."

Edo Pikin also pointed out what he sees as a no-win situation with Seun Kuti, saying:

"We don't know what you want. When someone calls out Baba Fela, it's a problem; when someone praises Fela, it's still a problem also."
