Afrobeats superstar Wizkid has finally responded to Seun Kuti’s ongoing criticisms of his fanbase, Wizkid FC, after the Afrobeat singer accused them of disrespecting his late father, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.
The Feud That Sparked Online Drama
The feud began after Seun Kuti [/b]publicly berated Wizkid’s fans, accusing them of constantly disrespecting the late Afrobeat legend, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, by comparing Wizkid’s global success and influence to that of his father.
Seun Kuti, who has long been vocal about protecting his father’s legacy, insisted that such comparisons were inappropriate and unfair, stressing that Fela’s cultural and political impact goes far beyond commercial music success.
While Wizkid FC strongly denied making any direct comparison between Wizkid and Fela, the argument quickly spiraled into a heated online debate, with fans from both camps trading words across X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and other platforms.
The controversy soon went viral, drawing attention from music lovers, celebrities, and social commentators, many of whom weighed in on the sensitive issue of legacy, generational impact, and respect for musical pioneers.
Wizkid Responds
After days of silence, Wizkid finally reacted, though not in the conventional way many expected. Rather than issuing a formal statement or addressing Seun Kuti directly at first, the singer took to his Instagram story to share a video of a woman speaking in Yoruba, openly criticizing Seun Kuti’s behavior.
In the viral clip, the woman accused Seun Kuti of obsessively attacking Wizkid’s fanbase over several days, describing his actions as excessive and unnecessary. She questioned why Seun appeared more focused on online arguments than on building achievements that could stand independently beside his father’s towering legacy.
The video immediately sparked further reactions online, with Wizkid FC praising their idol for responding indirectly, while critics argued that the move only added fuel to an already heated feud.
In another Instagram story post, Wizkid directly addressed Seun Kuti, abandoning subtlety altogether.
He wrote: “I Big pass your papa. Wetin you won do? Fool at 40. I’m Big Wiz everyday.”
The blunt message sent social media into a frenzy, with fans dissecting every line of the post and debating whether Wizkid’s words were aimed at ending the argument or escalating it further.
As expected, reactions remain divided, with some defending Wizkid’s right to clap back, while others argue that legends like Fela Anikulapo-Kuti should be left out of modern-day fan wars.
