Seun Kuti And Wizkid
Seun Kuti And Wizkid: What really happened, How everything started & All their Tweets.
How the Seun Kuti vs Wizkid Feud Started
The tension started in early January 2026 when Seun Kuti, son of Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, posted a lengthy Instagram video addressing fans of Wizkid, popularly known as Wizkid FC.
Seun accused Wizkid’s fans of constantly dragging his late father’s name into music debates and comparisons, especially calling Wizkid the “new Fela.”
According to Seun Kuti, such comparisons show a lack of understanding of Fela’s cultural, political, and historical impact.
“Keep Fela’s name out of your mouths. Why must you always bring Fela into your discussions?” Seun said.
He insisted that Fela’s legacy goes far beyond music and should not be reduced to online fan arguments.
Wizkid warned Seun from using "Big Bird"
The situation worsened on January 14, 2026, during an Instagram Live session when a Wizkid fan asked Seun to stop using the nickname “Big Bird,” a name Wizkid fans also associate with their idol.
Seun Kuti fired back immediately, claiming Wizkid “stole” the nickname and refusing to change it.
“This name has been here since. I’m the first to come up with it,” Seun said.
He further accused Wizkid’s team, including DJ Tunez, of encouraging the Fela-Wizkid comparisons instead of shutting them down.
Seun Kuti Reveals Fela’s Lasting Legacy
During the same live session, Seun made a shocking revelation about his father’s enduring influence, stating that he recently received $120,000 simply due to Fela’s legacy—over 29 years after his death.
“My father has died, yet I received $120,000 from the grave,” he said.
This statement further fueled debates online, with fans divided over legacy, relevance, and modern success.
“Use Your Numbers for Something Meaningful” Seun Kuti said
Seun also challenged Wizkid FC to channel their massive online presence into something positive.
He suggested that if over one million Wizkid fans contributed ₦1,000 each, they could raise ₦1 billion to build a school in Surulere in Wizkid’s name.
“All you do is insult people. You can’t come together to do something positive,” Seun said to Wizkid fans.
Wizkid Finally Responds
After several days of silence, Wizkid broke his silence on January 20, 2026, responding via a series of Instagram Story posts.
He first shared a video of a woman speaking in Yoruba, heavily criticizing Seun Kuti and questioning his behavior.
Wizkid then followed up with direct and explicit posts aimed squarely at Seun:
“Ok I big pass your papa!!! Wetin u wan do? Fool at 40!”
“I’m bigger than your papa!!”
The posts immediately went viral, triggering massive reactions across X (Twitter), Instagram, and Facebook.
Social Media Reactions and Fan Wars
The feud quickly turned into a full-blown online war, with Wizkid FC and Afrobeat loyalists clashing across platforms. Many Nigerians condemned the insults, while others debated whether Wizkid’s global success could be compared to Fela Kuti’s revolutionary legacy.
Several public figures also weighed in, urging both artistes to de-escalate the situation.
Wizkid further tweeted saying
