LagosOrigin:
Which major awards did he win as a good instrumentalist?

Nobody even recognized him for Grammy till Wizkid came and put Nigeria on global music map

You kinda ill-informed
Fela was nominated for Grammy. Not Grammy of today that comes in Africa category.
Fela has his name casted in ivy leagues hall of fames.
Mind you wizkid never won Grammy. It only features that won

Kindly note: I never sat to listen to Fela, but I listen to wizkid.
Wizkid can never make the name Fela has made in this generation

After holla at your boy hit song back then, WizKid sings absolutely rubbish.

All his songs centers on bwess and yansh and chop my money baby girl lyrics. Always singing nonsense!

Dude should show respect to fela. He can never be greater than fela! Imagine a SA musician comparing himself to the Great and legendary lucky dube

im not a wizzy fan but u lie bro, ojuelegba is one of the greates song in africa, it was the song that encouraged series of international collabos with foreign artistes.

I wouldn't play fella video when kids are around . He sings in pigin, wears pant on stage and smokes weed openly and shamelessly in front of children.

Wizkid has sing songs that won't fade away in many years to come . [b]Ojuelegba is one of them[/b].

I read some people saying FELA was smoking Igbo on stage. Quite unfortunately WIZKID even smoke more terrible shit than pure original weed taken by ABAMI EDA.
Those of you that have never seen fela perform, please download and watch how he handles musical instruments as if they are both one.
NOBODY should compare lizard with a CROC.
FELA FOR LIFE!!!!!!!

LagosOrigin:
Be whining yourself with audio money

Ok, it's audio money. But pls can you just put me to shame by showing everyone here where he wore only pant on stage.
Yes Fela wear pants during interviews while relaxing at his home, and also wear pants sometimes during rehearsals. But he has never ever wore pant on stage. Rather he wore thight trousers and shirtless on stage.
I hope I am teaching you about him.
And you even talk of smoking, I can see your Wizkid who's a role model to you and kids smoking all over his pictures, videos on tiktok and Instagram while in the clubs and at home.
A very good role model indeed

That Wizkid drew fela tatt on his hand doesn't mean fela is bigger.
Probably his little way of showing love to fella for being a political activist. Not that fellas is bigger.

Obasanjo was a military head of state and 2 term democratically elected president of Nigeria . But tinubu is the better and experienced politician. (Even though I hate to admit that.)

You are a big azz phool.

Comparing obasanjo to tinubu

They will want you to believe that Yorubas respect elders, my ass! The social media has helped change the narratives used by Lagos Ibadan media to protect their tribe. From insulting Obasanjo,Bode George etc by hirings,to Obas disgracing themselves,to Portable insulting his father,or late Mobad,to late 'Destiny boy' and their parents,the list is endless.
If not,how can Wizkid with his senseless music compare himself with an African legend like Fela,these people are disgusting,to think that some people are even supporting him.Please Fela is an highly respected institution and should be left out of these childishness.

We respect our elders a lot especially those who honour tradition. Those you mentioned are useless entity that used politics to arrogate power but don't have authority. Have you seen any election won by Obj in Yoruba land, none!! This is enough to show you that Obj was never a Yoruba elder. Awo is still being celebrated in grave. Those are the kind of elders we respect

One thing I've realised is most people who rose from the gutter to riches seem to have some element of gutter character despite their wealth and fame.

At this level, your response should exude class, grace, sophistication and advancement. You are either promoting, growing or uniting. Wisky's poor background have let him down once again.

How can u compare fela with Wiz?.lf not for internet, advancement in musical instruments people like Wiz, Davido etc will be relegated to dustbin.Bob Marley,Fela , Michael Jackson , become popular worldwide bcoz of their creative genius.Technology / internet plays a large part in musical production now.How many Nigeria musician can do a real live show by singing with their real voice?

But it marvels me how we reason sometimes....if we are comparing between two things, persons or era... it should be of the same technology....the differences in technology age and advancement and also the socio cultural and political differences of the times apart...makes it impossible to compare between the two.. time of fela technology was low and he was more political. Now time of wizkid technology is advanced and he is more of ny**h and br***t....so how can we compare....fela ought to be compared wt raskimo, baba frayo........wizkid should be compared wt burna boy davido...haba

Good music is subjective as there's no sole yardstick to determine that.
What's good music to you can be noise to me and vice versa.
Wiz might have went extreme in his utterances, but he said the truth.
Fela was more political activist than a musician. In pure lyrical and vocal ability, Wiz is miles ahead.
Did you just say lyrical? What! The only thing wizkid knows is about nyash, money. Fela's songs have meanings, just listen to him. Maybe you haven't.

U call yansh and breesss songs? The joke is seriously on you.

No body can damage the great Fela Kuti’s name, unless ignorant people in their misconstrued imagination that have no idea about the legend.

Then you join them to calling Seun to order. He should be comparing himself to people like Wizkid who have built their own names, not hiding behind Fela’s legacy. Whatever insults Fela’s name is receiving today are largely a result of Seun’s actions and poor judgment. The family needs to step in and rein him in before he does more damage

Wizkid remains a kid in the real sense of the word, if you ask me.

That a bat can fly doesn't makes it a bird.

Wizkid may have achieved some fame and fortune for himself but comparing himself with Fela is delusional or an exaggeration of his personality.

Again, as an Omoluabi, he shouldn't be disrespectful to an elderly person, a legend and a global icon of the stature of the Great Fela Anikulakpo Kuti, the Ebami Eda and the Black President who walked where other mortals dared not.

Wizkid should stop overreaching himself!

In October 2025, former U.S. President Barack Obama paid tribute to Nigerian Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti, describing him as a "musical genius" who created a new genre by blending funk, jazz, and soul.
These remarks were made to announce and promote a new 12-episode podcast series from Higher Ground (owned by Barack and Michelle Obama) titled "Fela Kuti: Fear No Man".
Key Takeaways from Obama’s Remarks:
Art and Activism: Obama highlighted Fela as a "unique figure in musical history who mixed art with activism".
Impact of the Music: In the first episode of the podcast, "To Hell and Back," Obama noted that Fela's music does more than just move people physically; it "stirs the soul" and makes them "feel alive".
Voice of the Oppressed: He recognized Fela’s work as a powerful tool used to combat corruption and advocate for the oppressed.
The podcast, which features over 200 interviews, explores Fela’s life, including his time in Los Angeles, which significantly shaped his Pan-Africanist views.

He brought it upon himself. Wizkid has been fighting overtime with many Nigerian artistes. Very rude and uncouth. He who invoke Ṣango will see the wrath of Ṣango.

Fela was more of a political activist than a musical artist so yes, Wizkid is bigger.

I was around 9yrs old when fela passed and all his songs I've ever listened to was about "Obasanjo did this IBB did that".

Fella is not a musical artist.

You were 9 when Fela died, boy, you're too small for this matter, this discussion no be for you, just sit down and read comments.
