SEUN KUTI says he “achieved a lot" from explosive online feud with WIZKID over his father FELA KUTI's legacy

Monday, July 27, 2026 -Singer Seun Kuti, the last son of the Afrobeat legend, Fela Kuti, has stated that he achieved a lot with his public dispute with Wizkid.

Seun stated this while speaking on TVC program ‘Your View’.

Speaking during the programme tagged ‘Inside the Mind of Seun Anikulapo-Kuti’, the singer explained why he believed that he achieved so much from his controversial online exchange with Wizkid over Fela’s legacy.

Also dismissing questions about VeryDarkMan’s fight to liberate Nigeria, he told the TV station to invite VDM for an interview.

Interviewer: “Did you think VeryDarkMan is really fighting to liberate Nigeria?”

Seun Kuti: “He’s giving them money?”

Interviewer: “I don’t understand, does he have money that he’s giving them?”

Seun Kuti: “You can invite him for an interview and ask him. He said he’s not political, that he’s doing charity abi?”

Interviewer: “Are you arrogant Seun?”

Seun Kuti: “I don’t think I’m arrogant because the authority is that of knowledge so I can’t put it to myself .”

Interviewer: “The issue you had with Wizkid, do you think that that disagreement achieved anything?”

Seun Kuti: “I think it achieved a lot. The point I’m trying to make is that it’s still not acceptable for one to claim to be aligned with the ideal of someone and the same person’s team works effectively, like consciously, to drag that person’s name down. That doesn’t make sense to me.”

This comes six months after the online dispute between Seun and Wizkid garnered discussions about Fela’s legacy and influence.
