Fela is a legend and no one comes close but I disagree that no one remembers Tuface's songs of 10 years ago. That's not true! Tuface's songs are evergreen and people remember and listen to them on daily basis.

All thesekids raised by single mums , what do you even know about music?
Do you even know who Abami eda is?

HeroicMeastro:
Of what use to us as Nigerians?

Of what use are you to yourself...

Give winchkid 300millions to reign,he will still never reach abami eda level.

Omoawoke:
But you are proud of Solomon

Black man

You are one of few sane people we have in Nigeria.

Switruth:
Where is weedkid seems to the question baba was asking on his third pic. Hahahahaha

Wizkid the great has broken many baba records in the past and set many that baba never set in his life time.

FACT!

See who that arrogant small rat is saying he's bigger than.


I don't blame these so-called celebrities. I blame the steeepid fans hyping them, that's why they feel so important.

Switruth:

I swear.
Na that name na him fit am.
Just imagine the weedkid comparing himself with ABAMI EDA.

Omoawoke:

JESUUU!!!!🤣🤣🤣..middle man Grammy award winner?bros your savagery and brutality surely needs to be studied lol..omoh people dey talk o..

Teymanhenry:

The weedkid committed an abomination.

tosyne2much:

"Sifia" pains

Wizkid.... How market ?

Haydens:
That baby that doesn't wanna grow up who calls himself WizKid at close to 40 years of his age he still attached kid to his name will now shut up his gutters.

Ordinary endsars we no see his face. He will not even see fellas footprint neither will he smoke what fella smoked in his entire life or else he go mad.

Fellas is bigger than Wizbaby's whole surname and generation any day anytime.

You humans are forever mischievous.

You know fully well wizkid never compared himself to fela. He even worships him that he has fela tattooed on himself.

Yet you dey talk all this dust.

dododawa1:
That failed musician SEUN wanted to bring shame to FELA.

If this is your definition of failure, your papa for fail also. Like Seun Kuti do describe ur type “eyin Ömö ti won o fi owo tó". Koba Iya ę!

DoctorAyukebot:
Of what use are you to yourself...

Is he your papa?
In what ways did he benefited Nigerians?

well done to him. But you people still don’t get it, it’s like comparing Mayweather to Mohammad Ali, can you see the difference, even though Floyd is unbeaten you can’t compare him to Ali. If you don’t get it u can continue!

I can see that weedkid ND his fans are in severe pain and wailling now

This i have seen 😂

Every generation will find their level and their music. For example, you're unlikely ever going to find Wizkid's, Burna Boy's or Davido's songs in my music library. Instead you're more likely to find Sweet Breeze, Kris Okotie before he became a pastor, Fela and even Daniel Wilson songs. That's how the world works. Every generation thinks their's is the best. Only very few, the likes of Fela, are timeless across generations.

Only that Ai has failed to inform us that on many occassions, na Baba's song and slang wizkid dey sample. So, how can he be 'stealing' baba's song and lamba and still claim to be greater than Baba, not to mention that afrobeat na baba's creation and platform.

Fela sang AFROBEAT not AFROBEATS!

..That fact really pain you.There is no way you people can win this arguement on logical and scientific basis,always emotions and primacy bias for fella.


But fela never win it in his life time

Fela is great..wizkid is great simple

Let wizkid die for almost 30years before you can compare post humous awards.
Let compare their awards during their lifetime

I won't lie to you weedkid music isn't Inspiring. Just give me an album you know that weedkid has produced that has inspired you. Don't deviate.

Seun Kuti simply needs to simmer down and focus more on making music. Enough of him constandly degrading the legacy of this incredible man

I firmly believe that the scenario of wizkid is better than Fela was initiated by a lowlife member of the wizkid FC seeking attention for their social media account. On the flip side, Seun Kuti also craved attention on his social media, and before we knew it, everything escalated. This is completely unnecessary.

I can guarantee that you will never see any Jamaican artist or FC member disrespecting Bob Marley's name, no matter the circumstances. Nigerians need to dedicate more time to reading, conducting research, and enhancing their overall knowledge. Not everything should be aired on social media; we must show respect.

Currently, wizkid holds the title of champion, but let us not forget that tomorrow is another day; eventually, another talented young musician will also bring wizkid down. Karma has a way of coming back around!

We need to exercise caution.

"I'm bigger than your father" is bigger not comparison in adjective ?

You should be vast with primary English before arguing.

validplanet:
Fela fought against injustice and corruption by the Nigeria government

But what's his influence on the youth like?

Did he influence them to hard work or hard drugs and promiscuous lifestyle?

Compare his achievements with that of Awolowos free education

Or vdm youth empowerment

Ignorance is pain..

The global stars we have today were inspired by Fela…

Burna boy is great today just by being inspired by Fela.

There’s something spiritual about his music, it’s like it awakens the greatness in the DNA of a black person.
For your good, go and listen to Beast of no nation, unknown soldier, sorrow tears and blood and suffering and smiling.

There’s a reason why he is called greatness, make sure you listen with a headphone or AirPods, and listen from beginning to the end -and be absorbed in it, you will know why some people worship him as a god..
I listened to his songs when I almost given up and I tell you, it awakens a consciousness in me to stand up and fight for greatness in this life

VDM has said it several times tha he listened to Fela repeatedly and he’ got his spiritual awakening and inspiration from Felas music.
There’s something calls spiritual—- and Felas music is trance like, he got those soundtracks from another realm… again, go listen to beast of no nation from
Beginning to end and come back to this post..



Fear is an illusion

Any youth whey wan smoke or do wayward, na their fault be that’s…

Willy2025:
It is an aberration and a sacrilege to mention Wizkid's name alongside that of Fela.

You didn't need to write more than this paragraph. This one carries all the truth.

Nobody with two working ears and a heart for sound will ever place that boy in the same HALL, not even same room, with FELA. Wizkid should keep an ambulance on standby if he ever attempts to do just one song on the same energy level as any of FELA's song.

I have long advocated for this. If you have listen ears, sit down and listen to one of the greatest music arrangements in the world. Fela!

do you mean that you type this out of ignorance? Sampling is a crime if you don't take permission from the music owner/custodian
That's why there is copyright laws

Afrobeat gave birth to Afrobeats, it a branch that stems from the original roots Afrobeat
It's like trying to hang a flag without a pole
