Daughter to Late Fela, Yeni Kuti has cleared the air on what happened after Reports recently made the rounds that her brother, Seun Kuti, walked out Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu at her 60th birthday party.
On May 24, 2021, Yeni Kuti clocked 60 and a number of dignitaries were present at her birthday party including the governor of Lagos state, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
Reports soon made the rounds after a viral video was posted claiming that the celebrant’s brother, Seun Kuti, had disrespected the Lagos state governor by walking out on him.
The video later caught the attention of Yeni who then took to her Twitter page to clear the air. According to her, Seun got upset after one of the governor’s security aides pushed his wife, Yeide.

Yeni explained further that Seun explained the situation to the governor and that Seun has home training
In her words:
“What happened was that the security detail in the course of doing their duty pushed his wife. He got upset at them understandably so, not the Governor. He even explained to the governor. I beg o! He has home training. @RealSeunKuti”
