Nigerian Afrobeats star Wizkid has fired back at Seun Kuti over comparisons to the late Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti.
Naija News recalls that the conflict started when Seun Kuti rejected comparisons between Wizkid and his father, saying words like, Wizkid is “bigger” or “more influential” diminish Fela’s legacy.
He argued that Fela’s impact as a political and cultural activist goes beyond music success alone.
Seun has also criticized Wizkid’s fans for repeatedly referencing Fela in online debates, describing their behaviour as disrespectful.
Seun further pointed out that equating modern commercial success with Fela’s historical influence shows a misunderstanding of history.
While acknowledging Wizkid’s achievements as an artiste, Seun questioned why people feel the need to claim he is greater than Fela.
He also raised concerns about Wizkid’s use of the nickname “Big Bird,” claiming it was previously associated with him and should not be copied.
In response, Wizkid took to Instagram to assert his position, saying that he rejects the comparisons to Fela and considers himself bigger in terms of modern success.
He wrote: “Pussy boy @bigbirdkuti ok I big pass your papa!! Wetin u one do ? Fool at 40 @bigbirdkuti I’m Big Wiz everyday bigger than your papa!! Wetin u one do fool ? Hungry bastard.”
