Don’t use me as a tool to insult my uncle – Made Kuti cautions Peter Okoye

Made Kuti, a Nigerian afrobeats musician and the grandson of Fela Kuti, has encouraged Peter Okoye, an afropop artist, to leave his name out of his argument with Seun Kuti.

Seun, aka Mr. P, and Peter Obi, candidate for president of the Labour Party (LP), have been exchanging insults on social media for the past 24 hours. It all started when Seun called Peter Obi an opportunist.

The remark infuriated Mr P, who called him out. In response, the Grammy nominee criticized PSquare’s other half in a series of posts.

Seun said; “Not only are you talentless, you are a gimmick. Tried to go solo without your ‘packaging’ what happened to your career?

“Just like your candidate can’t decide his party? Today APGA TMR PMP NEXT TMR LP, you sef can’t decide if you want to be a twin duo or solo artiste.

“Where is your Grammy nomination bro? Dem no dey give that one to people Wey dey thief songs.”

Okoye continued the trash-talking by criticizing Seun’s musical endeavors and speculating as to whether he has ever received a Grammy nomination.

Their arguments became so heated that he included his late uncle Fela Kuti and nephew Made in the conflict.

Mr P wrote; “Dude, I understand your frustration. But realize that the sky is big enough for all birds to fly. @burnaboy and other great artistes have climbed on our great Fela’s ladder to blow. Comport your self and pray to your god. My God has blessed my destiny & i’ll 4ever remain thankful.

I’ll surely keep you in my prayers. Learn from your nephew @Madekuti cos he is well guided and clean. Grammy nomination na yardstick to measure good music? Abeg which yeye song them use nominate you wey we know?

Grammy nominee wey still dey live for trenches! I dey sure say na still your papa house you stay. Stop deceiving yourself bro! Nobody rate you for this industry!”

When his name was mentioned, Made, who appeared to have been listening to the conversation in quiet, spoke.

Made wrote: “Good afternoon. Please do not use me as a tool to slight, insult or badmouth my Uncle. I’m not sure how we are perceived so I should clarify we stay united as a family and we intend on keeping it that way. Thank you.”
