Speaking on TheCable’s “Our Two Kobo” podcast, Kunle said he was “heartbroken” to hear about the feud, emphasizing that the comparison between Fela and Wizkid is misplaced and unnecessary.
According to Kunle, the two artists belong to different worlds, and placing them on the same pedestal is unfair.
He also revealed that he holds Wizkid in very high regard, describing him as an artist he would love to meet in person.
“I do not want anybody to compare them; it is two different things. That is what I am saying, I was heartbroken. What is this going on? Wizkid is the only artist that I have kind of begged people that I want to meet in my life. Even on Sunday, I have begged him that I want to meet this guy, to show you how much I love him. For the fact that he has Fela’s tattoo. We, his kids, do not even have his tattoo on our bodies,” he said.
Kunle’s comments come amid a growing debate about the legacy of Fela Kuti and the influence of modern Afrobeats artists, with the ongoing exchange between Seun Kuti and Wizkid drawing attention from fans and industry observers alike.
