Seun Kuti, a Grammy-nominated singer and son of the late Afrobeat pioneer, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, has said it is an insult to refer to Afrobeats singer Wizkid as the modern day equivalent of his father.

Kuti stated this while warning Wizkid fans, otherwise known as Wizkid FC, to stop comparing the Ojuelegba crooner with the late Afrobeat maestro during a recent Instagram livestream.

He explained that comparing Wizkid or any new generational artist to Fela is an insult to the legacy of the Afrobeat pioneer.

“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 to 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 overzealousnes of some of 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,” he expressed.
