A musician just told an entire fanbase their idol needs a new tag. Seun Kuti directly addressed Wizkid supporters in a live session, refusing to surrender his longtime Big Bird nickname. He insisted the moniker belonged to him first and challenged the other artist to find something original.
Kuti stated that Wizkid essentially stole the name. He questioned why he should change his own established identity. The artist also called out Wizkid's team, specifically DJ Tunez, for not stopping constant comparisons to his late father, the legendary Fela Kuti.
He claimed those around Wizkid enjoy the parallels instead of shutting them down. Kuti vowed to confront the DJ about this, saying a friendly greeting would not happen. His anger focused on fans dragging his father's name into modern music debates.
The Afrobeat singer acknowledged a recent financial benefit tied directly to his father's legacy. He received a substantial sum, which he credited to being Fela's son rather than his own work. Kuti framed this as a posthumous blessing from his accomplished parent.
He stressed his criticism targeted disrespectful fans, not Wizkid personally. Kuti told Wizkid FC to stop using Fela's name in their online arguments. He challenged them to convert their collective energy into a positive project, like funding a community school.
Merely insulting people online represented their only power, he said. Kuti firmly rejected any label, calling Wizkid the New Fela. He declared his father's legacy was beyond comparison, effectively ending that discussion.
