Tensions between Seun Kuti and Wizkid have intensified after Seun demanded the Afrobeat superstar remove his tattoo of Fela Kuti, threatening spiritual consequences if he refuses.

During a fiery Instagram live broadcast, Seun urged Wizkid to erase the tribute ink, proposing he replace it with a portrait of his biological father instead.

The musician issued a stark warning, claiming the tattoo could hinder Wizkid’s creative potential.

“That tattoo of my father on your arm needs to go. Put your own father’s face there instead, or you’ll never create greatness with those hands,” Seun declared.

The dispute originated when Seun condemned fan comparisons elevating Wizkid above Fela’s legacy, arguing such claims overlook Fela’s revolutionary societal impact beyond musical fame.

He emphasized that Fela’s contributions as a human rights advocate and political dissident transcend commercial metrics.

Seun also chastised “Wizkid FC” for allegedly weaponizing Fela’s name in social media arguments, calling the practice disgraceful.

The musician stressed that contemporary popularity cannot be equated with Fela’s enduring cultural revolution, highlighting generational context differences.

While recognizing Wizkid’s artistry, Seun challenged the narrative of his supposed superiority to Fela, questioning the motivation behind such assertions.

Additionally, Seun accused Wizkid of appropriating his “Big Bird” moniker, insisting the nickname rightfully belongs to him.

Wizkid countered on Instagram, dismissing comparisons while asserting his dominance in today’s music landscape.
