Seun Kuti, the son of the late Afrobeat icon Fela Kuti, has responded to the insults hurled at him by Grammy winner Wizkid.
The tension began last week when Seun criticised Wizkid’s
fanbase for what he perceived as disrespectful comparisons between the
‘Ojuelegba’ hitmaker and the Afrobeat legend.
He argued that such comparisons undermined his father’s
monumental legacy.
The conflict escalated on Tuesday evening when Wizkid
responded forcefully on his Instagram Stories, rebuking and posting a series of
messages laden with insults aimed at Seun.
Wizkid also declared himself greater than Fela.
“@bigbirdkuti I’m Big Wiz everyday bigger than your papa!!
Wetin u one do fool? Hungry bastard,” he boasted.
The singer continued his tirade on X, drawing a sharp
contrast between Seun and Fela’s lives’ work: “Fela fight for freedom this fool
dey fight for fc! Oloshi omo ale!” he said.
Fela fight for freedom this fool Dey fight fc! Oloshi Omo ale !

Seun responded with a measured, sarcastic retort on his
Instagram. He posted a screenshot of Wizkid’s post with the caption: “Just be
yourself short man. You are also great”.
The online exchange has sparked widespread debate among
fans, highlighting ongoing conversations about legacy and respect within the
country’s music industry.
