Seun Kuti son of late Afro-Beat legend Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, has joined the league of celebrities who in recent time have taken to twitter to express their grouse over various issues.
Seun on the social networking site twitter tweeted the following this afternoon:
U think I was reffering 2 @iamdbanj? Yes, and everybody who hides under ‘Afrobeat’ in a bid 2 make make gains without a message in d music. Its nothin’ personal, I think people should stick 2 what they do (genre), do their best & leave d rest. Some can’t even perform live music & still claim they do Afrobeat!

Further going through his twitter page, We saw that he had earlier tweeted this on 8th of August:
Seun Anikulapo Kuti
@RealSeunKuti :Yes, I said it. WHAT THEY’RE DOING IS NOT AFROBEAT! How can u do music without a message and call it Afrobeat? *smh*
From all indication, his most recent tweet naming D’banj is as a result of people asking who exactly he was referring to.
We do hope that this doesn’t degenerate to another Twi-Fight. We’ll definitely keep you posted as events unfold.
