Seun Kuti and Wizkid’s Clash Achieved A Lot, Says Singer

Seun Kuti is standing firmly behind his past online exchange with Wizkid. Speaking on TVC’s Your View, the Afrobeat star said the Seun Kuti and Wizkid clash achieved a lot. AfrobeatsGlobal caught the interview, and Seun did not hold back on his reasoning. The last son of Fela Kuti explained why he still believes the disagreement mattered months later.

Why Seun Kuti Says The Clash Achieved So Much

According to Seun, the issue was never really about Wizkid personally. Instead, he argued it is unacceptable for someone to claim alignment with an ideal while their team works against it. He explained that his goal was highlighting a deeper inconsistency rather than starting drama. As a result, the exchange sparked wider conversations around Fela’s legacy and influence. That ripple effect, Seun believes, justified the public disagreement.

Seun Kuti Also Addressed VeryDarkMan

During the same interview, Seun was pressed on activist VeryDarkMan’s charitable claims. He responded by suggesting the station simply invite VeryDarkMan for a direct interview instead. When asked whether he came across as arrogant, Seun pushed back firmly. He argued that speaking from a place of knowledge is not the same as arrogance.

The Bigger Picture Around Fela’s Legacy

The interview arrived six months after the original online dispute first broke out. Since then, conversations about Fela’s influence on modern Afrobeat have continued circulating. Seun’s latest comments suggest he has no regrets about speaking up publicly. Whatever people think of the clash itself, it clearly succeeded in keeping Fela’s name part of today’s conversations.
