Seun Kuti Stated That His Resentment Towards Wizkid Is Enduring

Tension between Afrobeat artist Seun Kuti and Afrobeats star Wizkid continues months after their public fallout.

In a recent appearance on the Selah Meditate Podcast, Seun Kuti stated that reconciliation is not possible due to what he perceives as disrespect toward his late father, Fela Kuti. He emphasized, “It’s on for life. You don’t say things about my dad, then it’s fine. There’s no coming back from that.”

Seun explained that he believes the situation has escalated beyond a misunderstanding, claiming there is no common ground left for rebuilding any relationship.

The conflict began in January 2026, stemming from a comment made by a fan suggesting that Wizkid’s achievements overshadow those of Fela Kuti. This assertion was met with disapproval from Seun.

In response, Seun Kuti used Instagram Live to address what he described as the negative comments from certain members of the Wizkid FC fanbase, claiming they were undermining his father’s legacy. His remarks attracted both support and criticism on social media.

As discussions grew more intense, the situation evolved into a broader confrontation. Many fans defended Wizkid and expressed critical views toward both Seun Kuti and Fela Kuti.

Now, months later, Seun’s recent remarks indicate that the disagreement has transitioned from an online debate to a lasting personal divide that he intends to maintain.
