Actor and social media personality Yhemolee has stirred fresh debate online after publicly calling out Afrobeat singer Seun Kuti, saying the musician is constantly fighting with people who were not even born when his late father, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, was alive.
Yhemolee made the statement while reacting to Seun Kuti’s frequent social media arguments, where the singer often criticizes younger Nigerians over politics, culture, and social values. According to the actor, Seun’s approach shows a clear disconnect between generations.
He suggested that instead of engaging in endless online fights, Seun Kuti should focus on educating and inspiring young people, noting that many of them only know Fela through history books and documentaries, not lived experience.

The online space witnessed another round of celebrity commentary after Yhemolee openly questioned Seun Kuti’s habit of clashing with younger social media users. He argued that many of those Seun confronts lack firsthand knowledge of Fela’s era and the struggles that shaped his activism.
Yhemolee emphasized that generational gaps play a major role in how issues are perceived today, especially in the age of social media. He noted that young Nigerians engage differently, often driven by trends, frustration, and limited historical context.
The actor’s remarks have since sparked mixed reactions, with some agreeing that Seun Kuti’s tone can be harsh, while others insist the singer has the right to defend his father’s legacy and challenge what he sees as ignorance.
