VeryDarkMan Slams Wizkid For Using Fela’s Name Amid Seun Kuti Feud, Criticizes Nigeria For Disrespecting Music Legends

Wale busari03 mins

VeryDarkMan has sharply criticized Wizkid for involving Fela Kuti in his feud with Seun Kuti, insisting the singer should have addressed Seun directly instead of dragging the Afrobeat legend’s name into the conflict. “Nigeria is the only country without music legends. While other countries idolize theirs, in Nigeria, they call it ‘past glory.’ I even expected Wizkid to call out Seun Kuti directly, without mentioning his father, Fela,” he said. He also questioned the significance of Wizkid’s Grammy win, arguing that it does not reflect true mastery of music. “Because of Wizkid, people disrespect Fela. Let’s talk about Grammy. This 2026, Fela will receive a lifetime achievement award at the Grammys after being inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2025. Did Wizkid ever get a lifetime achievement award? Never. Which song? Which piece of music? Music is an art involving instruments and drumming. Wizkid can’t even play an instrument. He can’t even match Made Kuti. It’s because people don’t respect their legends that Wizkid uses Fela’s name.” VeryDarkMan went on to describe Wizkid’s Grammy as a “compensation award,” saying, “Take a good look at Wizkid’s Grammy — Best Music Video. This is not a real Grammy. Cry all you want, it is what it is. Now let’s talk about Nigerians who actually have Grammys. Burna Boy won Best Global Music Album twice, solo. Tems won Best African Music Performance and also collaborated with Future and Drake. Yet people disrespect Fela, claiming he was irresponsible. None of us match that level of artistry.” He concluded that the feud exposes a bigger issue in Nigeria: the country’s failure to honor and protect the legacy of its music legends, leaving contemporary stars to exploit iconic names instead of truly respecting them. “Nigeria is the only country in the word that don’t have music legends like other countries do they label them ‘past glory.’ I thought WizKid would call out Seun Kuti directly, without mentioning Fela,” ~ VeryDarkMan say pic.twitter.com/kD9SPHCMfH — ORITOKE MEDIA (@oritokemedia_1) January 22, 2026

Actress Shaffy Bello has claimed that Nigerian music stars Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy have achieved the same level of international recognition as the late Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo-Kuti. Speaking on the podcast What I Know, co-hosted by Korty EO, Bello pointed to the trio’s global influence, wealth, and fame as evidence that they have reached a status comparable to Fela’s legendary impact.
