Afrobeats Global reports that Wizkid has responded publicly to the ongoing clash with Seun Kuti, escalating a fan-driven dispute that has simmered for weeks. Wizkid’s post drew a sharp contrast between Fela Kuti’s activism and what he framed as Seun’s focus on fighting fanbases online.
The tension traces back to Seun’s criticism of comparing modern pop stars to Fela, arguing that awards and numbers are not the same as legacy. Wizkid’s engagement marks a departure from his usual quiet stance on industry drama and has quickly split social media into two camps.
Seun Kuti’s prior comments (circulating from his social channels) have emphasized activist purity and historic context, while Wizkid’s “FC” fanbase has treated the back-and-forth as a direct attack on their identity.
Echotitbits take: This isn’t just celebrity beef—it’s a fight over what “legend” means in Nigerian music. Seun represents purist activism; Wizkid represents modern global dominance. By targeting fans, Seun handed Wizkid an opening to frame him as out of touch. Expect this to run for weeks as fan armies keep the algorithm hot.
