Kanye in the Instagram video said; “My music is the best on the planet. I am the best living recording artist. We, rather, because the spirits flow through me. The spirit of Fela, the spirit of Marley, the spirit of Pac flows through me. We know who the best.”

The comments made by Kanye did however not go down well with Seun Kuti, who also took to his Instagram page to denounce the comments made by the America rapper.

Seun wrote; “Erm erm on behalf of the Kuti family, I want to state that the spirit of Olufela Anikulapo Kuti isn’t anywhere near Kanye West.

“@ziggymarley over to you. ?????? @oldmanebro come get ur boi before I #getthesax.”
