How it all started
Wizkid had been named as a Grammy winner by the award organisers for his work with Beyonce on her Brown Skin Girl track.
However, there had been arguments that he wasn’t really a Grammy winner because it wasn’t his song.
Seun Kuti had also threw shade Wizkid’s way by suggesting that he didn’t qualify to be called a Grammy winner because the song belonged to Beyonce.

Seun Kuti refuses to back down, throws more shade
After Wizkid received his plaque, Fela’s son took to social media to shade him again.
According to Seun, there are only four musicians in Nigeria whose music has been nominated for the Grammys, himself, his brother Femi, juju singer Sunny Ade and Burna Boy.
Still standing on the fact that Wizkid featuring on a Grammy award-winning song does not make him a nominee, Seun stated that an album gaining recognition is different from a music video.
Wizkid finally breaks silence, responds to Seun Kuti
The Essence crooner told Kuti to grab his sax and make some music while urging him not to pay attention to the people recognising his award.
The Starboy also said that everyone thoroughly enjoyed Kuti's last album and were in fact still dancing to it.
Wizkid’s fans however had hilarious replies to their fave’s reaction. Many of them saw it as Wizkid also throwing shade.
Perhaps this is what led to Seun sharing Wizkid’s private message to him, showing that there is no bad blood between him and the Grammy winner.
