Baba Fryo Critiques Wizkid's Fela Comparison as Stunt

Veteran musician Baba Fryo has stated that Wizkid's recent comparison to the late Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo Kuti was a promotional stunt intended to enhance the visibility and streaming of his new EP. During a recent episode of the Sai Sai podcast, Baba Fryo expressed that such comparisons are often used by artists to generate controversy and drive public interest in their music.

He criticized the current state of the music industry, suggesting that achieving hit songs has become easier due to the quality of music being produced and the minimal promotion efforts. Baba Fryo urged Nigerian artists and music executives to prioritize quality over trends and social media virality, highlighting that DJs and music executives play a significant role in the industry's challenges, including the sabotage of quality music.
