Afrobeat musician, Femi Anikulapo-Kuti, has denied media reports that he condemned the nationwide protest to be led by pop star, 2face Idibia.
According to the 54-year-old, he only questioned an announcement that a protest will take place at the Afrika Shrine on February 5 without informing him first.
He said 2face is his friend and family, and he would never blast him publicly.
Organisers of the Lagos leg of the 2face protest have moved it to Monday, February 6 at the National Stadium.
See Femi’s explanations as posted on Twitter below.
