Naija News reports that the Zazoo Zeh crooner shared a video in which he compared himself to the Afrobeat legend, insisting that no contemporary musician can surpass him.

He said: “Wizkid claims he’s the new Fela—has he ever been to prison? I am Tony Montana of London. To say you’re bigger than Fela, have you died before, been to prison, or faced life the way I have?

“How much do you have in your account? You are this, you are that—that one is for your pocket. Man, I am bigger than you. I’ve been to prison more times than you. I’ve spent money and risked my body.

“Who do you help? Do you feed people? I’ve fed people on the streets, shared food, and changed lives directly. You’re bigger than Fela—for what? I am more popular than you. I am the new born Fela.”

Portable’s remarks come amid the ongoing feud between Seun Kuti and Wizkid.

The conflict began when Seun Kuti rejected comparisons between his father, Fela, and Wizkid, arguing that calling Wizkid “bigger” or “more influential” diminishes Fela’s legacy. He emphasized that Fela’s influence as a political and cultural activist extends far beyond music success.

Seun also criticized Wizkid’s fans for frequently invoking Fela in online debates, calling their behavior disrespectful, and noted that equating commercial success today with Fela’s historical impact shows a misunderstanding of history.

While acknowledging Wizkid’s achievements, Seun questioned why people feel the need to claim he is greater than Fela and also expressed concern over Wizkid’s use of the nickname “Big Bird,” which he said was previously associated with him.

In response, Wizkid took to Instagram to reject comparisons to Fela, insisting that he is bigger in terms of modern success.
