Olamide declares Wizkid the greatest after Fela
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Nigerian rap icon Olamide Adedeji declared Wizkid the greatest Afrobeats artist ever after Fela Kuti in a viral press conference clip from Toronto, Canada.
Baddo praised Wizkid's global impact, consistency, and role in evolving Afrobeats, saying Wizkid's influence goes beyond hit songs to cultural moments and boundary-breaking achievements.
The comment sparked intense debates online as fans and netizens reacted, with some hailing Olamide's humility for not naming himself and others urging artists to stop comparisons because none of them sing like Fela.
