Wizkid Sends Birthday Greetings To His ‘big Daddy’, Guess Who? by terrymason(m): 1:48pm On Jun 17, 2015
Starboy boss, Wizkid has joined million of well-wishers to hail the Afrobeat king, Femi Kuti on his 53rd birthday celebration.
The Jaiye Jaiye crooner took to twitter to hail Femi Kuti, who he referred to as his big daddy. He featured the Afrobeat king on the Jaiye Jaiye track.
“Happy birthday to big daddy @Femiakuti !! God will continue to bless u with good health and long life! Eleniyan!!
Been on the road since January!! Man just been stacking up!! Show me the money!! Daddy getting too much cake!! ,” he posted on his twitter handle.
Olufela Olufemi Anikulapo Kuti (born 16 June 1962), popularly known as Femi Kuti, is the eldest son of afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti.
Femi was born in London to Fela and Remi Kuti and grew up in Lagos. His mother soon left his father, taking Femi to live with her.

In 1977, however, Femi chose to move in with his father. Femi started playing the Saxophone at age 15 and he eventually became a member of his father’s band.
Like his father, Femi has shown a strong commitment to social and political causes throughout his career.
He created his own band Positive Force in the late 1980s with Dele Sosimi (Gbedu Resurrection), former key-board player of Fela Anikulapo Kuti.
His international career began in 1988 when he was invited by the French Cultural Centre in Lagos and Christian Mousset to perform at the Festival d’Angoulême (France), the New Morning Club in Paris and the Moers Festival in Germany.
In 2001, Femi collaborated on his album Fight to Win with a number of U.S. musicians, including Common, Mos Def, and Jaguar Wright
Femi has been nominated for a Grammy award four times in the world music category in 2003, 2010, 2012 and 2013 but has never won.
