Ace musician, Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Face, has added his voice to the ongoing debate comparing singer Wizkid with the late Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.
Recall that Wizkid sparked outrage after claiming he is
“bigger” than Fela while responding to Seun Kuti’s criticisms of him and his
fans over the comparison of the Ojuelegba crooner with the Afrobeat legend.
Reacting in a snippet of the upcoming episode of the Mic On
podcast, 2Face described the comparison “ridiculous,” emphasising that it
is both disrespectful to Fela’s legacy and unfair to Wizkid’s career.
The African Queen crooner explained that placing Fela and
Wizkid side by side ignores their different eras, impacts, and unique
contributions to Nigerian music.
“Comparing Fela with Wizkid is ridiculous. Apart from the
fact that it is disrespectful to Fela, and at the same time, it is also unfair
to Wizkid,” 2Face expressed.
