Femi Kuti: Fela Deserves Respect, Not Comparisons – Reacts To Wizkid.
Grammy-nominated Afrobeat musician and eldest son of Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, Femi Kuti, has reacted to the controversy surrounding the comparison of singer Wizkid to the late music legend.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The debate erupted after Wizkid claimed he was “bigger” than Fela while responding to criticisms from Seun Kuti and others over repeated comparisons between the Ojuelegba crooner and the Afrobeat icon.
Speaking during a recent interview on Arise TV via Skype from Los Angeles, Femi said he wished the controversy had never arisen, noting that he maintains good relationships with both his brother, Seun Kuti, and Wizkid, who are central to the issue.
He described the dispute as unnecessary and a misplaced priority, stressing that younger artists and musicians should focus their energy on demanding better governance rather than engaging in trivial debates.
Femi, however, emphasized that Fela stands in a class of his own and cannot be compared with any other artiste. He said the late Afrobeat pioneer deserves to be idolised and respected.
“Fela is our father, and even younger artists respect him. The Fela versus Wizkid debate shouldn’t even exist. Fela is the musical and artistic template of Nigeria,” he said.
“Fela should be placed in a category of his own and simply idolised and respected. I don’t want to get involved in the issues between Seun and Wizkid—Seun is my brother, and Wizkid is like a son to me. I honestly wish this never came up.”
Femi Kuti is currently in Los Angeles, where he is expected to receive Fela’s posthumous Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2026 Grammy Awards ceremony this weekend.
