Starboy Wizkid has sparked a viral debate after declaring he is bigger than afroveat legend, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.
It is his way of fighting back at Fela’s artiste son, Seun, who has been at war with Wizkid’s fans and ostensibly with the Grammy winner.
Seun had accused Wizkid’s fans of disrespecting Fela.
The dispute ignited last week after Seun, publicly accused his colleague’s fanbase, known as Wizkid FC, of disrespecting his late father’s legacy by drawing comparisons between Fela and the Grammy winner.
In a response shared on IG Stories, Wizkid posted a video of a woman defending him, saying he’s done more to promote Fela Kuti’s work to a new generation.
Wizkid added: “Fela fight for freedom this Dey fight fc!! I big pass your papa, wetin you wan do? @bigbirdkuti I’m Big Wiz every day bigger than your papa!! Wetin u one do.”
Seun Kuti had warned against comparing modern artists to his father, saying it was disrespectful and an attempt to “steal the man’s image”.
Various reactions have trailed the outburst online.
Among such, many argued Wizkid was insulting Fela, saying the late musician was by far bigger.
Others, however, sought to understand the fact that he was allegedly povoked, with some saying he was a legend in his own right.
