"And I NEVER said 2face came to meet me. I said y Did he NOT meet or call me if protest was kicking off at the Shrine."

"No problem protest venue and date has changed."

Kuti said 2Face was a friend of the Afrika Shrine and he would never tell him off publicly.

"Thank u o 2face is a friend/family of the house I would never Blast him in public. Not my style."

Meanwhile 2Face took to Instagram today, February 3, 2017, announcing a date and time for his highly controversial nationwide protest.
