Wale busari01 mins

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.’”   View this post on Instagram

Seun Kuti Calls Wizkid Greatest Artiste, Urges Fans To Leave Fela’s Name Out Of Comparisons

Wale busari02 mins

Afrobeat musician Seun Kuti has addressed recent debates in which some Wizkid fans invoked his late father, Fela Anikulapo‑Kuti, to measure the Nigerian superstar’s success. In a video shared online, Seun praised Wizkid, saying, “Wizkid is the greatest artist in the world; I can say Wizkid is the greatest artist of all time.” But he questioned why his father’s name continues to be brought into comparisons. “If you want Wizkid to be great, he’s the greatest. Leave my father out of the conversation,” he said. Seun stressed that Fela’s legacy is unparalleled and should not be used to diminish other artists. He noted that globally, fans don’t compare contemporary stars to legends like Bob Marley, Hugh Masekela, or Aretha Franklin, yet in Nigeria, Fela’s name is repeatedly pulled into debates. Highlighting his family’s humility, Seun said, “We don’t cross our lane or claim our father is above everyone. But somehow, there’s always a reason to drag him down.” The musician’s comments have reignited conversations online about respecting Fela’s legacy while celebrating the achievements of modern Nigerian artists like Wizkid.

Leave My Father’s Name Out Of Your Mouths – Seun Kuti Fires At Wizkid Fans

Wale busari04 mins

Seun Kuti has issued a strong warning to fans of Wizkid, urging them to stop dragging the Afrobeats star into comparisons with his late father, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti. Speaking during an Instagram livestream, the singer and activist described such comparisons as disrespectful and an outright insult to Fela’s legacy. He said the constant attempts to label Wizkid as a modern version of Fela were rooted in ignorance and unhealthy fan rivalry. Kuti criticized Wizkid supporters for repeatedly mentioning Fela in online debates, arguing that the Afrobeat pioneer should not be used to score points in fan wars. He also blamed excessive fan zealotry for creating tension within the music industry, noting that some artists now avoid collaborations because of toxic fan rivalries. He said: “Wizkid FC keep Fela’s name out of your mouths. You try to claim that your fake artiste is the new Fela. Then when you people saw that the shoes were too big to fill and people like me also did not allow you to get away with those insults… It is actually an insult [to compare Wizkid to Fela]. “You people have no respect. I like it when people don’t have respect as a form of defiance. If your lack of respect came from a place of defiance, I will respect it. But your lack of respect came from a place of ignorance… “Wizkid fans are online disrespecting Fela again. Why must you always involve Fela in your petty discussions? The overzealousness of some fans has significantly affected the music industry negatively. Some artists can’t even collaborate because of fan rivalries. “I think Wizkid FC is the most ignorant fanbase in the world… You need to stop misbehaving. Concentrate on your artist. Can’t you enjoy their music without comparing it to something else? Do you know why you cannot enjoy your artist’s music without comparing it to something else? It is because the music does not fill your spirit. You can pretend to be enjoying it, but spiritually, you are not satisfied.” Kuti’s comments have since sparked widespread reactions online, reigniting debates around fan culture, legacy, and respect within Nigeria’s music scene. “Wizkid fc needs to keep Fela’s name out of their mouth. You people try to steal the man image. You try to claim your fake artiste is the new Fela. It’s an insult to Fela to call Wizkid the new Fela. Wizkid fc are the most !gn0 rãnt fanbase in the world.” — Seun Kuti says. pic.twitter.com/BzpZ5JVb9e — 𝐀𝐬𝐚𝐤𝐲𝐆𝐑𝐍 (@AsakyGRN) January 10, 2026
