I’m Bigger Than Fela – Wizkid Fires Back at Seun Kuti
Nigerian music star Wizkid has finally responded to the escalating online feud between his fanbase and Seun Kuti, son of Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo Kuti. The conflict began when Seun Kuti publicly criticized Wizkid’s fans, known as Wizkid FC, for allegedly disrespecting his late father’s legacy. Seun condemned social media comparisons between Fela and Wizkid, calling them offensive and unwarranted.
After days of silence, Wizkid took to Instagram on Tuesday evening to share his thoughts through a series of emotional posts. The Grammy-winning artist appeared visibly agitated as he directly addressed the issue, delivering sharp remarks aimed at Seun. One of his first moves was reposting a viral video featuring a woman passionately defending Wizkid while criticizing Seun in Yoruba. The clip, already trending online, intensified the debate and marked Wizkid’s official entry into the dispute.
While Wizkid did not provide an elaborate explanation, his posts conveyed a clear tone of defiance, indicating his frustration with the accusations against his fanbase. His reaction has since sparked a wave of mixed reactions across social media, with supporters of both artists engaging in heated debates. Some fans argue that comparisons between artists from different eras are inevitable, while others insist on preserving Fela Kuti’s legacy without undermining contemporary musicians.
The clash highlights the ongoing tension between honoring musical pioneers and celebrating modern-day stars. As the debate continues, it remains to be seen whether the two artists will reconcile or if the feud will escalate further. For now, Wizkid’s bold response has ensured the conversation stays in the spotlight.
