Seun Kuti Reveals Fela Sent Him $120,000, Taking Shot At Wizkid Comparisons

Seun Kuti highlighted his father Fela’s lasting legacy, revealing that he received $120,000—29 years after Fela’s passing—as evidence of the Afrobeat legend’s enduring impact.

He contrasted this with Wizkid FC, suggesting their fathers lack a comparable influence. Seun questioned, “How many of your fathers can do that from the grave?” underscoring that Fela’s achievements remain unmatched.

He stressed that comparisons between Wizkid and Fela are misguided, given Fela’s extraordinary stature.

Seun added, “Fela’s son. Fela is still blessing me from the grave 29 years later. How many of your fathers can do that from the grave? None, because your fathers are not accomplished. Wizkid and DJ Tunez are enjoying the clout, which is why they won’t come out to say, ‘Stop disrespecting Fela in my name.’”
