Calling Wizkid ‘New Fela’ Is an Insult – Seun Kuti Blasts Fans

Grammy-nominated musician Seun Kuti, son of late Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, has condemned comparisons between Afrobeats star Wizkid and his father, describing such claims as disrespectful and insulting.Seun made the remarks during a recent Instagram livestream, where he warned Wizkid’s fanbase, popularly known as Wizkid FC, to stop referring to the singer as a modern-day version of Fela.According to him, likening Wizkid—or any contemporary artist—to Fela diminishes the legacy and impact of the Afrobeat pioneer.“Wizkid FC should keep Fela’s name out of your mouths,” Seun said. “Trying to brand your artiste as the new Fela is an insult.
