The tense advisory came just days after Seun Kuti and Grammy-winning superstar Wizkid were locked in a fiery online war that dominated Nigerian social media.
But instead of backing off, Asake appeared to double down on his partnership with Big Wiz.
The feud escalated when Seun Kuti described Wizkid FC as “the most ignorant fan base,” suggesting their parents had not achieved what his father, Fela Kuti, had accomplished.
Wizkid fired back sharply, calling Seun a “fool at forty,” a “hungry b*stard,” and a “frog who lives in the mud.”
The exchange became even more personal when Seun warned Wizkid to remove Fela’s tattoo from his hand or risk “never being successful again,” further fuelling the tension between both musicians.
With the dust still hanging in the air, Seun Kuti turned his attention to Asake, advising him to stay wary of Wizkid, especially after the YBNL star confirmed a collaborative project with Big Wiz.
Against that dramatic backdrop, Asake went ahead on January 23, 2026, to announce the release of his joint project with Wizkid titled Real EP Vol. 1.
The announcement was posted in a collaborative Instagram upload featuring both artists. A sleek promo video accompanied the caption:
“Real EP Vol. 1 ti jade bayi” — meaning “Real EP Vol. 1 is out now.”
This comes just a week after the duo dropped Jogodo, the lead single from the EP, on January 16, 2026.
