Her comments come as the online dispute continues to stir intense reactions across social media, with fans and commentators weighing in on both sides.

She recalled her long-standing relationship with the singer and highlighted his early days in the industry, long before global fame and recognition. “Wizkid is my padi. When two giants fight, the grass suffers. I refuse to enter this discussion because of some of the insults they are hurling. I love Wizkid a lot, and we have really come a long way together,” she said. “I remember when he started, he was a backup singer at the shrine during Felabration. There is no way I can’t like him. I like him,” she added. She emphasized that Fela Anikulapo-Kuti’s name remains respected [/b]and influential decades after his passing, and should not be used as a tool for online battles. She urged all parties involved to focus on peace rather than rivalry, stressing that personal differences should be resolved privately.
