According to him, guests who arrived in full big-man energy left in a hurry that made them look like they were running from something.
"At Peller's wedding, all of us left there as if we were thi£ves. Everybody escaped from that wedding," he said. "Nobody left the wedding like a big man. Nobody left like the big man that we were when we arrived. We were leaving as if they were pursuing thi£ves because the Agberos in Lagos were too much."
What Happened at Peller's Wedding
The comments come weeks after Kuti made headlines for walking out of the white wedding ceremony of content creators Habeeb Hamzat, widely known as Peller, and Elizabeth Aminata Amadu, known as Jarvis, held in Lagos.
Video clips that spread online at the time showed Kuti making his way towards the exit during the reception.
His departure followed a remark attributed to the event's MC, who reportedly drew a comparison between contemporary Afrobeats acts and Seun's late father, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, the legendary Afrobeat pioneer.
As he walked out of the hall, Kuti was heard on camera saying he was in the wrong place, making clear he was unhappy with how the comparison had been framed.

Seun Kuti's Latest Take on the Night
His latest remarks appear to add context to his exit, suggesting the chaotic end to the evening was not his experience alone.
By framing the whole guest departure as a collective scramble, Kuti shifted the focus from any personal grievance to what he described as a broader security concern caused by the presence of Agberos, a term commonly used in Lagos to refer to street touts or area boys known to harass people.
The combination of the earlier controversy and his recent remarks has kept the conversation around the high-profile wedding alive on social media, with many Nigerians weighing in on both the MC's original comment and Kuti's colourful retelling of how the night ended.
