This summer in the U.S., Oba Ogunwusi, the 51st Ooni of Ife came under attack for singing that Jesus is his father at a church.

Afrobeat musician and son of legendary Fela Kuti who openly practiced Yoruba traditional worship, Seun Kuti also condemned the Ooni, calling it a shame
The Ooni this evening has commented on the matter again on his Instagram page with the above photo stating –
We are tagged as idol worshippers, but truth be told we are not idol worshippers. Our traditions give all the glory, adoration and honor to the almighty God which we know as Olodumare. #OoniofIfe
