Wizkid's Producer Accuses Fela Kuti of Stealing Afrobeat Style

Samklef, a producer associated with Wizkid, has stirred controversy by claiming that Fela Kuti took the Afrobeat style from veteran musician Orlando Julius Ekemode. This allegation challenges the widely held belief that Fela was the pioneer of Afrobeat.

Samklef's assertion has led to discussions on the lack of proper documentation regarding the origins of Afrobeat in Nigeria. The claim contrasts with the narrative that Fela created Afrobeat by blending various musical influences.
