2Baba Criticizes Comparison Between Fela and Wizkid, Calling it Disrespectful

Nigerian music legend 2Baba weighed in on the online debate comparing Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo Kuti and global Afrobeat star Wizkid, deeming the comparison inappropriate and unnecessary. The controversy began when Fela's son, Seun Kuti, criticized Wizkid's fanbase for disrespecting Fela's legacy by drawing parallels between the two artists.

This led to a heated exchange on social media, with Wizkid responding strongly on Instagram. Family members of Fela, including Yeni Kuti and Kunle Kuti, expressed their views, with Femi Kuti also sharing concerns about dragging Fela's legacy into controversy.

The debate continues to spark discussions around respecting legacies and generational differences in Nigerian music.
