To many observers, the choice of words felt deliberate.
This came shortly after Davido’s long-time rival, Wizkid, had been involved in a heated online exchange that saw Fela’s legacy dragged into modern music debates.
The controversy began when Wizkid, during a clash involving Fela’s son, Seun Kuti, made comments that many perceived as dismissive of the late Afrobeat pioneer’s legacy.
Seun Kuti later called out Wizkid’s fanbase, popularly known as Wizkid FC, accusing them of constantly dragging his father’s name into online arguments about who is bigger in today’s music scene.
According to Seun, calling any modern artist the “new Fela” only showed a lack of understanding of the depth, struggle, and political weight behind his father’s work.
Things took a sharper turn when Wizkid openly declared himself bigger than the late Afrobeat legend and questioned Seun’s right to inherit or represent his father’s greatness.
