According to him, they cannot keep using his father’s name “like a toothpick” every morning. He added that they need to be called to order, but many people are afraid to speak the truth.
The outspoken music star described Wizkid FC as cowards and asked why they were not comparing Wizkid to Pasuma or KWAM 1 instead.
Speaking further, Kuti told Wizkid FC to face their artist, adding that Fela fought against their “masters,” which is why many of them cannot stand him.
He also noted that in Jamaica, fans do not compare Bob Marley with other artists because of the respect they have for the late legend.

DJ Tunez reacts to Seun Kuti’s video
Reacting, Wizkid’s associate, DJ Tunez, sent a message to the singer, saying that since Kuti does not want Wizkid to be compared to Fela, he should instead be called the new Michael Jackson. He added that the matter was now closed.
Fans of the music star also joined him in lashing out at Seun Kuti, saying he was pained by the fact that they call their favourite “the biggest bird,” which they claimed was what annoyed Kuti.
Others, however, advised him not to focus on what Wizkid FC are saying, adding humorously that they were sure Fela himself was also an FC.

"Egbon your dad Fela is the greatest of all time. No one comes close even in the whole Africa. Wiz is a great musician doing very well with his music. Wiz fans are very loyal and they like to hype him. If I were you I wouldn’t even address this issues because many of the FC are young folks who were not born during Fela's time."
