Condemning Yesufu for advocating for the liberation of Nigerian women while putting on Hijab, the musician argued that embracing Islamic or Christian practices leads to abandoning African identity.

Seun in a post on his official page said
“It’s the Africanness in us that is helping your European behaviour. That is why Aisha Yesufu and I engaged in an argument on TV, she wan dey talk anyhow, and I told her father off.
