Afrobeats icon Fela Kuti’s son, Kunle Kuti, expressed worry about the internet altercation between artist Wizkid and his brother, Seun Kuti.
The incident started when Seun accused Wizkid’s admirers of undermining Fela’s reputation by comparing the “Ojuelegba” hitmaker to their father.
Kunle Kuti disassociated himself from parallels between Wizkid and Fela in an interview with TheCable’s “Our Two Kobo” podcast, stating that they are from different worlds.
“I do not want anybody to compare them; it is two different things,” he said.
Kunle admitted that the issue left him “heartbroken”, revealing he holds Wizkid in high regard and had sought to meet him, citing the singer’s Fela Kuti tattoo as a point of admiration.
“That is what I am saying, I was heartbroken. What is this going on? Wizkid is the only artist that I have kind of begged people that I want to meet in my life.
“Even on Sunday, I have begged him that I want to meet this guy, to show you how much I love him. For the fact that he has Fela’s tattoo. We, his kids, do not even have his tattoo on our bodies”, he said.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
One ❤️❤️❤️
