  • Yhemolee blames Seun Kuti for Fela’s online disrespect

    Yhemolee blames Seun Kuti for Fela’s online disrespect

    Nightlife influencer Yhemolee has weighed in on the online feud between Wizkid and Seun Kuti, blaming Seun for provoking the backlash.

    The dispute ignited last week when Seun accused Wizkid FC of disrespecting Fela’s legacy by comparing the late legend to the Grammy-winning artist.

    In a Snapchat post, Yhemolee argued that Wizkid’s fans, mostly young people, know little or nothing about Fela Kuti and were simply reacting to comparisons made by Seun himself.

    Yhemolee pointed out that Wizkid is a generational icon, with fans who grew up listening to his music, and that many Nigerians only know Fela through history lessons or limited exposure.

    He criticised Seun for engaging with online trolls and bringing unnecessary embarrassment to the Kuti family.

    He wrote: “Na seun kuti I blame!! This fraction of FC you are cursing out don’t even know fela! They have no single memory of him. Wiz is their GOAT! They can go memory lane with him from Holla at your boy till date!!

    “Even some of us na fela shrine make us. Even know some things about fela except you study history. No be say we sabi anything when e Dey!!  
    “Some people no know pass 1 fela song! Water no get enemy same people can sing 200 of wizkid’s song start to finish.

    “This current internet warriors no get single respect for anybody papa. Na you cause this embarrassment for the Kuti family. What are you putting on ring light for 5 days in a row addressing people you don’t even know.

    “Innocent wife self collect inside, Nigerians know Fela shouldn’t be disrespected as a matter of fact this is the first time I’m ever seeing anything disrespectful about Fela courtesy you!!! Go carry sax Egbon leave FC”.

    Yhemolee also highlighted the age gap, noting that Fela died 29 years ago, and the teenagers and Gen Z involved in the feud wouldn’t know much about him.

    He concluded that Seun’s actions have led to Fela’s name being disrespected online.

    “No be only you be Fela piken!! Only you won face FC? How? Wetin you chop?? Rage baited wiz till e burst out!! And everybody know sey the man mouth worst! I didn’t think a day would come I will read very silly and embarrassing stuff about FELA. Fela died 29yrs ago!! Who dem born that same year self would be 30yrs next year. But you are fighting teenagers and Gen Z’s that know absolutely nothing about him.. Make it make sense.”

    He decried the shift in social media’s purpose, noting it has become a virtual begging site rather than a platform for meaningful engagement.

    “It’s no longer news that social media isn’t social media anymore. It’s now a begging site. The only difference is that unlike the beggars on the road, the beggars on the internet have data.

    “These days, when you post a picture, the first ten comments are account numbers. My major problem is those who have a PhD in begging. Please omit all those begging from my own picture,” he said.

    Yhemolee added that if men were to highlight women’s flaws in the same way, they would realise how much men tolerate and overlook.

    He wrote: “The fastest way for a man to hate you is when you never acknowledge his sacrifices positively and undermine his efforts, but be so quick to fault him at any slight opportunity you get for his shortcomings.
