Afrobeats superstar Wizkid has broken his silence on the ongoing criticism from Grammy-nominated artist Seun Kuti. The exchange played out on social media on Monday, January 19, 2026, and quickly went viral.
For weeks, Seun Kuti had reportedly used livestreams to criticize Wizkid and his fanbase, known as Wizkid FC. He questioned the singer’s musical legacy and repeatedly compared him to his father, the late Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.
Wizkid responded first on his Instagram story. In his post, he referenced Seun’s father and asserted his own status in the industry.
“I big pass your papa!! Wetin you don do? I’m Big Wiz everyday,” he wrote.
He later took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to continue the exchange. Expressing frustration, Wizkid wrote:
“Ok everybody better pass Wizkid! Can we all sleep now? Fela fight for freedom, this fool dey fight FC! Oloshi Omo ale!”
By contrasting Fela Kuti’s activism with Seun Kuti’s social media disputes, Wizkid’s remarks sparked intense debate across the Nigerian music space. Fans and industry observers quickly weighed in on the public clash.
As of Tuesday morning, Seun Kuti has not issued a formal response to Wizkid’s comments or the references to his father. The situation continues to draw attention as the conversation unfolds online.
