A clip that circulated shortly after showed the son of the late Afrobeat icon Fela Kuti leaving the event before it wrapped up, prompting reports that he was furious after an MC allegedly made a comment suggesting Wizkid is bigger than Fela. In the footage, Seun could be heard remarking that he was "in the wrong place."
Seun Kuti Addresses the Walkout
Speaking during a session with Fuji singer Malaika, Seun dismissed the narrative that had taken hold online.
He explained that he simply left the wedding to head to the Shrine, the iconic Lagos venue that serves as a monument to his father's legacy, and that bloggers ran with a distorted version of events.
He even took a light jab at the frenzy his exit caused, asking whether he should have made a whole performance out of leaving.
"I left the wedding to go to the Shrine, and these bloggers twisted things, saying I was angry. Maybe I should have danced out of the ceremony," he said.

The Wizkid-Fela Beef in Context
The timing of the incident placed it squarely in the middle of an ongoing feud between Seun and Wizkid's fanbase.
Seun had previously called out Wizkid FC for repeatedly dragging Fela's name into music debates, arguing that labelling any contemporary artist the "new Fela" reflected a shallow understanding of what his father represented.
The tensions deepened after Wizkid publicly declared himself bigger than the late Afrobeat legend and questioned whether Seun had any standing to speak on his father's behalf.
On a different note, Davido had lent his support to the Kuti family by attending a tribute event honouring the late Fela Kuti in Los Angeles during Grammy weekend, joining Fela's children, including Femi, Yeni, and others, to celebrate the legend's enduring impact.
