Seun became a media sensation during the week as a video of him storming out furiously on the Lagos state Governor went viral online.
Her sister, the celebrant has since dispelled the scuffle saying Seun’s anger was against Sanwo-Olu’s orderlies who shoved his wife at the event.
The public was not astonished by Seun’s action, as he has always expressed his odium for the government just like his father, the late Afrobeat legend.
The Nigerian artists, Burna Boy and Wizkid were recently nominated for Black Entertainment Television award 2021, in the Best international Act category.
The international awards nominations come just when Nigerians are still celebrating the Grammy Awards, the duo brought home early this year.
