- Kunle Kuti, son of Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, is disappointed by the feud between his family and Wizkid.
- He holds Wizkid in high regard despite the ongoing disagreement.
- The conflict primarily involves Wizkid and Seun Kuti, Fela’s youngest son.
Kunle Kuti, the second son of Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, has expressed his disappointment over the ongoing disagreement between his family and Nigerian superstar Wizkid, emphasizing the high regard he has for the singer.
The remarks come amid rising tension between Wizkid and Seun Kuti, Fela’s youngest son, a situation that has sparked widespread discussion among fans and within the Nigerian music industry.
In an interview with Kola Olapoju of The Cable, Kunle shared that the feud saddens him, noting that comparing the two artists is unfair since they each bring distinct musical and cultural contributions.
Kunle also revealed that Wizkid is the only musician he has ever made a special effort to meet, motivated by his respect for the singer’s appreciation of Fela’s legacy.
Highlighting Wizkid’s tribute of tattooing Fela’s image on his arm, Kunle described it as a profound gesture of admiration, even exceeding the ways some of Fela’s own children have chosen to honour their father. He pointed out that while none of Fela’s offspring have tattoos of him, Wizkid’s action reflects a unique and meaningful respect for the Afrobeat legend.
“I don’t want anybody to compare them. It’s two different things. I was heartbroken, like, Ah, what is this going on? Wizkid is the only artist I’ve kind of begged people to meet in my life. To be honest, I’m telling you, because yeah, we’re close, right? Even Sunday Are, I have begged him like, “Guy, I want to meet this guy (Wizkid),” to show you how much I love him. For the fact that he has Fela’s tattoo on his arm, we, his kids, don’t even have our dad’s tattoo on us.”

@cowardleejo:”If this is new then Fela may have raised a few traitors in the family. Why would a brother betray his own brother? Yoruba people don dey move funny since 2024 after tinubu election.”
@damzkidemrys:”For the whole of kuti family na only seun no like Wizkid ,,, even their big sis wey link Wiz to uncle Femi say ‘Wizkid is my padi na , he’s like a family to us’ i no no wetin make seun dey enter the wrong person , him don Forget say Wiz no dey look face if he don vex.”
@OmoniyiAkintobi:”A Fela son begging to meet an artist, are u aware that Fela was a no nonsense man who could never begged for anything? They need to do an urgent DNA test on you for this ur comment. Even me wey no be celebrity, I get Fela picture in my house and I listen to his songs in my car.”
@enigmaliq:”Any1 who thinks Seuns rant was about Felas legacy is stupid. During d rant, Tunez reached out to him on IG, Seun ignored it. Tunez posted their video at Obis & tweeted it was all love, Seun quickly dismissed it as an old video. Seun just wanted to bring Wiz down but God pas man.”
@jammykolz1:”Ur father na legend..but u can beg someone to introduce u to wizkid wey draw ur papa for body…definition of you don’t know the value of what u have until you loose it..”
@DisLekchild:”I don’t even know Fela has handsome reasonable children like this apart from Femi. They suppose to tell Seun to stop embarrassing them.”
