Stop Calling Wizkid “New Fela” — Seun Kuti Blasts Wizkid FC

LAGOS, Nigeria(VOICE OF NAIJA)- Nigerian singer Seun Kuti has drawn a firm line in the ongoing pop culture debates, declaring that likening Wizkid to his late father, Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, is deeply offensive. 

The Grammy-nominated musician made the remark during a recent Instagram livestream, directly addressing Wizkid’s fanbase, popularly known as Wizkid FC.

In a blunt warning, Seun urged fans to stop framing the “Ojuelegba” singer as a modern-day version of Fela, stressing that such narratives undermine the historical weight and cultural impact of the Afrobeat pioneer. 

According to him, no contemporary artist should be placed in that category.

The remarks come amid a long-running trend among Wizkid supporters who often hail the superstar as the “young Fela,” a narrative once reinforced by the singer’s Snapchat handle, which previously read “Felaback.”

Seun, insists that the association has gone on for too long.

“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 too 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,” he said. 

He went further, accusing the fanbase of lacking cultural awareness and respect for music history, arguing that their actions stem from ignorance rather than rebellion.

“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,” Seun stated.

Shifting focus, the singer also criticized how intense fan rivalries are shaping the industry, claiming they have disrupted collaborations and healthy artistic exchanges. He suggested that constant online comparisons only fuel unnecessary conflict.

“Wizkid fans are online disrespecting Fela again. Why must you always involve Fela in your petty discussions? The overzealousness of some fans has significantly affected the music industry negatively. Some artists can’t even collaborate because of fan rivalries,” he added. 

Seun concluded with a harsh assessment of Wizkid FC, questioning their ability to appreciate music without external validation. 

“I think Wizkid FC is the most ignorant fanbase in the world… Concentrate on your artist. Can’t you enjoy their music without comparing it to something else? It is because the music does not fill your spirit,” Seun stated.
