  • Kunle Kuti says Wizkid is the only artiste he ever “begged” to meet — amid the Seun/Wizkid-fandom firestorm

    Kunle Kuti says Wizkid is the only artiste he ever “begged” to meet — amid the Seun/Wizkid-fandom firestorm

    According to TheCable Lifestyle, Kunle Kuti said Wizkid is the only artiste he has ever begged to meet, adding fresh fuel to a story already charged by the Seun Kuti vs Wizkid-fanbase clash. His comments are landing because they cut against the binary “legacy vs popstar” framing—showing admiration for Wizkid while still insisting that comparisons to Fela are misplaced.

    Echotitbits take: This is a temperature check for how Nigerians handle legacy debates in the era of stan culture. If more Kuti-family voices weigh in—or Wizkid responds again—the discourse could shift from fandom wars to a broader cultural-history argument.

  • Wizkid and Seun Kuti Exchange Shots in Social Media Fan War

    Wizkid and Seun Kuti Exchange Shots in Social Media Fan War

    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.

  • Wizkid Teases New Project with Cryptic Visuals

    Wizkid Teases New Project with Cryptic Visuals

    According to @wizkidayo on X, a new visual teaser has been released, sparking intense speculation about an upcoming album or single. The short, aesthetic clip features the singer in a minimalist setting, consistent with the refined branding he has adopted in recent years.

    Wizkid’s fanbase, known as the “Wizkid FC,” has immediately begun dissecting the video for clues about the release date. The singer has been relatively quiet on social media, making this sudden update a major event in the African music landscape.

    NotJustOk reported that the teaser pushed conversation across social platforms. The Guardian Nigeria also amplified fan anticipation, with commentary suggesting listeners expect a genre-bending project from Starboy.

    Echotitbits take

    Wizkid’s “silence, then precision” rollout playbook remains effective in sustaining megastar mystique. If this becomes a surprise drop window, expect rapid chart traction and strong social velocity.

    Wizkid Teases Mystery Album Cover and February Release Date

    Wizkid posted a cryptic, minimalist teaser with “02.2026,” sparking speculation about a February release and a new R&B-infused Afrobeats direction.

    Social chatter and cross-platform reposts continued to push the story, with fans and commentators dissecting the visuals, branding, and potential next moves.

    Echotitbits take: Wizkid’s quiet-to-cryptic rollout remains one of the most effective marketing plays in Nigerian pop. A February window positions him for sustained chart impact and a strong run into the 2026–2027 awards cycle.

  • Wizkid and Davido’s Cousin Spotted Together Amidst Family Feud

    Wizkid and Davido’s Cousin Spotted Together Amidst Family Feud

    In a video shared by @mazitundeednut on Instagram, Davido’s cousin was seen partying in a popular Lagos nightclub alongside Wizkid, just months after a heated social media exchange between the two music titans. The footage, which has since gone viral, shows a surprisingly cordial atmosphere, leading fans to speculate about a potential ‘cold war’ thaw.

    The sighting is particularly notable given the public insults traded between Wizkid and Davido’s family members late last year. Social media sleuths have been analyzing every frame of the clip, questioning whether this indicates a move toward reconciliation between the ‘Big 3′ stars or if the family ties are simply independent of the music industry beef.

    While neither Davido nor Wizkid has commented directly on the outing, the clip has dominated conversations on X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok. Some fans argue that the ’30BG’ and ‘Wizkid FC’ fanbases should take a cue from the stars’ associates and embrace peace.

    As reported by Legit NG, ‘Davido’s cousin was spotted enjoying time with Wizkid in a club months after the singer insulted her father, sparking massive reactions.’ Adding to the buzz, Naija News noted: ‘The viral video has raised eyebrows as fans question the dynamics of the ongoing rivalry.’

    Echotitbits take: In the Nigerian music industry, optics are everything. While this could be a simple case of people being in the same space, the timing suggests a tactical move or a genuine disregard for the ‘beef’ by those closest to the artists.
