Following the Afrobeat artist’s recent claim that he is greater than the late Fela Kuti, Nigerian musician Baba Fryo has attacked singer Wizkid.
The dispute began when Wizkid’s followers were criticized by Fela’s son, Seun Kuti, for drawing comparisons between the modern musician and his father.
Kuti called this “an insult to Fela’s legacy” and urged them to refrain from bringing up Fela in fan discussions
Wizkid later fired back on his Instagram story, claiming he was “bigger than Fela” and mocking Seun Kuti, escalating tensions further.
“Pu**y boy @thenigbirdkuti ok I big pass your papa!!! Wetin u one do? Fool at 40!,” he wrote.
“@bigbirdkuti I’m Big Wiz, everyday bigger than your papa!! Wetin u one do, fool?”
“Hungry bastard.”
Reacting to the feud, Baba Fryo expressed his dismay on social media, saying, “I just dey shame for this Gen Z. How can these kids compare a kid to an elder? Fela was a great musician, a multi-instrumentalist, a revolutionist.
“He wasn’t just an artiste but a full-time musician, and he remained relevant for over 30 years until the day he died.”
He added a cultural comparison, saying: “A Jamaican artiste would never do such to Bob Marley. I dey shame for this youth. Call Gen Zero sense. Mtcheew.”
