Nigerian singer Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake, has reacted—subtly but firmly—after Afrobeat musician Seun Kuti advised him to “be careful” of working with Grammy-winning superstar Wizkid amid an intense online feud. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

The warning came as tensions escalated between Seun Kuti and Wizkid following a series of heated exchanges on social media that drew widespread attention from fans and industry watchers.

The controversy began when Seun Kuti criticised Wizkid FC, describing them as “the most ignorant fan base” and claiming their parents had not matched the legacy of his late father, Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo Kuti.

The comment immediately sparked backlash online, with Wizkid eventually responding in a series of harsh posts.

Wizkid fired back at Seun Kuti, referring to him as a “fool at forty,” a “hungry bstard,”* and “a frog who lives in the mud.”

The exchange further escalated when Seun Kuti warned Wizkid to remove Fela’s tattoo from his body, suggesting that failure to do so could affect his future success.

Amid the feud, Seun Kuti publicly cautioned Asake, urging him to be careful about associating with Wizkid. The comment raised eyebrows, especially as Asake had been rumoured to be working closely with the Starboy boss.

Despite the warning, Asake appeared unfazed. On January 23, 2026, the singer officially announced the release of his joint project with Wizkid, Real EP Vol. 1, confirming that the collaboration had moved forward regardless of the controversy.

The announcement was made via Instagram, accompanied by a sleek promotional video and a caption written in Yoruba:

“Real EP Vol. 1 ti jade bayi”
(“Real EP Vol. 1 is out now”)

The EP announcement followed the earlier release of its lead single, Jogodo, which dropped on January 16, 2026 and quickly gained traction across streaming platforms and social media.

The song helped build anticipation for the full project and signalled the strong creative synergy between both artists.

Fans of both Asake and Wizkid have since taken to social media to share mixed but largely positive reactions, with many praising the collaboration despite the ongoing feud involving Seun Kuti.

The development suggests that Asake has chosen to focus on music and artistic growth rather than being drawn into industry controversies.

Point of correction,Seun Kuti doesn't have any fans . He's only been banking on his father's fans and that's why I'm pained the guy has been doing too much just to rubbish the legendary Fela's name

Now,what I even detest the most is trying to involve another person into the beef you had with someone simply because they're close to that person

Who call this Seun Kuti small pikin in adult body na the honest person so far

Apart from been Fela son (He might even be a bq$t@d). What else has he achieved for himself apart from smoking weed and ranting with bare chest in front of the camera

wicked that sings rubbish

Seun is a failure and wants everyone to be in his bitterness

Clickbait. Asake did not say anything in that write up. Wrong headline. Next time I won't read posts from this OP. Waisted my precious time.

Nigerians don't appreciate his music but trust me, Seun Kuti keeps going to tours in Europe. It's not everyone that likes auto tune and machine music. Some people want natural man made music

He is also an intellectual, that's why he can get interviews on TV News stations to talk about contemporary issues. I daresay Wizkid cannot talk about politics and social issues of life. Even Banky W can talk these.

Those who live in glasshouses don't throw stones..

Let's be honest, the only thing Seun Kuti has to his name is his father.

His only career is that of playing his father's songs. He for just lay gentle dey mind his business.

He now went to drag a tiger by the tail. Now everyone knows he is a broke dude with a dead career. That must have hit harrrrrrrrrrrd! That was below the belt!

Before people did not care to look deep into Seun's life will now want to know what car he is driving and when last he bought a new one.

His older brother, Femi, has respectfully kept mute.

Person whey win Music video in conjunction with Beyoncé na him you dey call Grammy award winning superstar

Lizard 🦎 always throwing shades just before he releases his vomit to his cluess followers. Dude knows he's done so he only rants to stay relevant.

My own be say, this Seun no resemble Fela in any way o

Just because Wizkid get bad mouth does not mean he is a bad guy. On a normal, he is reserved person except someone looks for his trouble. This is someone whose bodyguards are barely known to assault rowdy fans compared to Davido's bodyguards' and Burna Boy's handling of fans despite Wizkid being a victim of these kind of fans over the years. The same person who never beefs with Davido unless Davido's crew start looking for his trouble. Seun Kuti looked for his trouble, so he automatically unlocked Wizkid's bad mouth.
