Fela’s Legacy: Kunle Kuti Breaks Silence On Wizkid vs Seun Kuti Feud (Video)

Kunle Kuti, son of Afrobeats legend Fela Kuti, has voiced concern over the online feud between singer Wizkid and his brother, Seun Kuti.

The controversy began when Seun criticised Wizkid’s fans for comparing the ‘Ojuelegba’ hitmaker to their father, arguing that it undermined Fela’s legacy.

Speaking on TheCable’s ‘Our Two Kobo’ podcast, Kunle Kuti distanced himself from comparisons between Wizkid and Fela, saying they belong to different realms.

“I do not want anybody to compare them; it is two different things,” he said. 

Kunle admitted that the issue left him “heartbroken”, revealing he holds Wizkid in high regard and had sought to meet him, citing the singer’s Fela Kuti tattoo as a point of admiration.

“That is what I am saying, I was heartbroken. What is this going on? Wizkid is the only artist that I have kind of begged people that I want to meet in my life.

“Even on Sunday, I have begged him that I want to meet this guy, to show you how much I love him. For the fact that he has Fela’s tattoo. We, his kids, do not even have his tattoo on our bodies”, he said. 

“Wizkid is the only artiste I’ve ever begged to meet, I had to beg Sunday Are to meet him. He has Fela tattoo on his arm, even we his sons don’t have his tattoo on us”
