Shaffy Bello Defies Seun Kuti, Claims Wizkid, Davido, Burna Boy Match Fela's Level

Nigerian actress Shaffy Bello has claimed that contemporary Afrobeat stars like Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy have achieved the same level as the late Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo Kuti. This statement comes in defiance of Seun Kuti's caution against comparing current artists to his father.

Shaffy Bello made these remarks during a podcast episode alongside Nigerian singer Seyi Sodimu, where she defended the trio's international recognition. Seun Kuti had previously criticized artists who label themselves as the "new Fela," considering it disrespectful to his father's legacy.
