Although he did not mention any names in his new post, the timing and wording made many interpret it as a direct swipe at Seun Kuti.
In the X post, Wizkid appeared to dismiss the idea of continuing his back-and-forth with Seun and the Kuti family.
He suggested that engaging further would be pointless, using imagery that painted his opponent in a negative light.
The statement also carried a motivational edge, urging his followers to focus on their goals in the new year.
By combining shade with encouragement, Wizkid managed to keep the feud alive while speaking to his wider audience.
He wrote:
“Never go back and forth with a pig that lives in the mud. 2026 get yours!”

Back-and-forth exchanges between Wizkid and Seun Kuti
Legit.ng recalls that the feud between Wizkid and Seun Kuti began earlier in January after Seun rejected comparisons between Wizkid and his father, Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti.
Seun argued that Fela’s legacy was built on activism and cultural leadership, not just music success, and warned Wizkid’s fanbase against dragging Fela’s name into hype.
Seun repeatedly dragged Wizkid's fanbase, FC, in multiple videos he released online, including live sessions.
After days of dragging him, Wizkid responded with sharp remarks, stating that he is bigger than Fela, and mocking Seun in several posts.
Seun fired back, accusing Wizkid of chasing clout with his Fela tattoo.
Since then, both sides have traded personal insults, turning what started as a debate about legacy into a heated rivalry.
Wizkid’s latest cryptic post adds another layer to the dispute, showing that the tension between the Afrobeats icon and Fela’s son remains unresolved.
