The ongoing debate comparing Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo-Kuti and contemporary global star Wizkid has continued to dominate social media and entertainment discourse over the past two weeks, drawing reactions from fans, critics and industry figures alike.
The conversation, which began online, centres on influence, cultural impact and whether Wizkids global success places him in the same historical bracket as Fela, whose music and activism defined a generation and reshaped African music on the world stage. While supporters of Wizkid argue that his international achievements reflect a new era of global recognition for Nigerian music, others maintain that Felas political consciousness and cultural revolution remain unmatched.
