The ongoing social media feud between Wizkid and Seun Kuti escalated after Wizkid, 35, referred to Kuti’s wife as “ugly,” prompting a strong response from the Afrobeat musician. Speaking on a livestream, Kuti lambasted Wizkid and his partner, Jada Pollock, 43, for dragging women and children into the dispute, saying, “Real men don’t involve women and kids in their beef. Wizkid that has an old woman as a partner is insulting my wife. You are calling my wife ugly, should I be doing that with you and be insulting your wife?” He also condemned the harassment of his child online by Wizkid’s fans, adding, “But all that can’t break me. I want my child to experience what I experienced so that she can be strong like me.” Kuti further commented on Wizkid’s state of mind, urging him to rediscover himself and find his identity, saying, “I know you are depressed fam. What you need to do Wizkid is to rediscover yourself, to become Wiz, Kid, or Big Wiz… You don’t have identity – is it Big Wiz? Is it Wizkid? Is it Biggest bird? Na me you still copy.”
