Afrobeats superstar Ayodeji Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid, has reignited his online feud with Seun Kuti through a cryptic post on social media.
The message was shared on Wednesday via X and suggests that the singer is done engaging directly with the Kuti family after weeks of public tension.
“Never go back and forth with a pig that lives in the mud. 2026 get yours!”

Although Wizkid did not mention Seun Kuti by name, the timing of the post points clearly to their ongoing dispute.
The clash began earlier this month when Seun Kuti rejected comparisons between Wizkid and his late father, Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo-Kuti. Seun argued that Fela’s legacy was rooted in political activism and cultural leadership, not commercial success.
In a viral video, Seun criticized Wizkid’s fanbase and questioned the singer’s connection to Fela’s legacy. He said that Fela’s legacy is not just music, but a movement. He also accused Wizkid of clout-chasing and suggested the artist should remove Fela’s tattoo.
Wizkid responded with several sharp remarks during the height of the exchange. One of his comments sparked widespread debate across the music industry when he claimed he was bigger than Fela.
The feud has since attracted commentary from industry observers. Media personality Daddy Freeze warned that the ongoing exchanges could damage Fela’s legacy and drag it into controversy.
As of Thursday, Seun Kuti has not responded directly to Wizkid’s latest comment. The feud remains a trending topic online, highlighting ongoing debates within the Afrobeats community over legacy, influence, and modern success.
