2Baba Criticizes Comparison Between Fela and Wizkid as Disrespectful
Nigerian singer 2Baba, also known as Innocent Idibia, expressed his opinion on the comparison between the late Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo Kuti and singer Wizkid, deeming it disrespectful. This reaction follows Wizkid's controversial claim of being bigger than Fela, which garnered criticism from fans and Fela's son, Seun Kuti. 2Baba described the comparison as ridiculous and emphasized the disrespect to Fela's legacy, highlighting the unfairness of juxtaposing Fela's impact with Wizkid's career.
In a related development, Yeni Kuti, a member of the Kuti family, spoke in an interview with Arise TV, stressing the importance of contemporary artists respecting Fela's legacy and refraining from diminishing his achievements by comparing themselves to the late music icon.
