Wizkid Fires Back at Seun Kuti Over Criticism of Fans Comparing Him to Fela
Wizkid has finally fired back at Seun Kuti after the Afrobeat star repeatedly criticised his fans for comparing him to Fela Kuti.
The singer shared a viral video on his X page, captioning it: “He’s embarrassing his family 😭😭😂😂.” The clip features a woman fiercely defending Wizkid’s fanbase, scolding Seun Kuti in Yoruba for repeatedly targeting the singer’s supporters. She argued that if it weren’t for Wizkid, Fela’s legacy might not be as widely remembered, noting that his fans are helping keep the legend’s name alive. Wizkid also referred to Seun as “omo baba oni pata gigan,” stressing that Fela’s legacy stands on its own.
Wizkid didn’t stop at X; he also posted the video on his Instagram story. He later returned to X and reacted with a single laughing emoji (😂), triggering a wave of responses from fans and social media users.
The exchange highlights ongoing debates in Nigeria’s music scene over how modern Afrobeats artists are compared to Afrobeat pioneers, with fans and critics often sharply divided on the matter.
