Seun Kuti Replies Wizkid Over His 'I Am Bigger Than Your Father' Comment

Nigerian musician and activist Seun Kuti has finally responded to Wizkid after the Grammy-winning superstar took to Instagram to launch a scathing attack on him over comparisons involving the late Afrobeat pioneer, Fela Anikulapo Kuti.

The drama began when Wizkid reacted angrily to discussions comparing his global success to Fela’s legendary status. In a series of now-viral Instagram stories, the singer boldly claimed he is “bigger than Fela” and directed harsh personal insults at Seun Kuti.

Wizkid wrote:

“Pvssy boy @bigbirdkuti ok I big pass your papa!! Wetin u one do?
Fool at 40 @bigbirdkuti I’m Big Wiz everyday bigger than your papa!! Wetin u one do fool ? Hungry bastard.”

The comments immediately sparked outrage online, with fans and critics debating respect for legacy versus modern-day fame.

Responding in his usual calm but pointed manner, Seun Kuti addressed the feud without matching Wizkid’s aggression. While acknowledging the attention the exchange has generated, Seun stood firm on the importance of respecting his father’s enduring legacy.

He wrote:

“Una oga don come out. Ehn hen. Tmr we finish. Day 7. Shebi una say e no go answer?
Dem don fall una hand o. Just be yourself short man. You are also great.”

Seun’s response has since been praised by many for its restraint, with supporters noting that he chose dignity over insults while subtly reminding Wizkid that greatness doesn’t require diminishing those who came before.
