Afrobeat artist Seun Kuti has doubled down on his ongoing feud with fellow Nigerian musician Wizkid, asserting that there is no chance for reconciliation.Business news Nigeria
In a candid interview with Selah Meditate, Seun firmly rejected claims that their differences had been resolved.
โNo, what are you talking about? Please, letโs move on. I donโt want to talk about that,โ he said when asked about the possibility of mending fences with Wizkid.
Seun, son of the legendary Fela Kuti, emphasized that his grudge with Wizkid is personal. โMy grudge for Wizkid is on for life because you donโt say things about my dad and think itโs fine. No, there is no coming back from that,โ he added.
The roots of Seunโs public rift with Wizkid go back to early 2026, when the two were drawn into a war of words on social media.
It all began after Wizkidโs fanbase compared the pop star to Fela Kuti, a comparison that Seun viewed as deeply disrespectful. Seun responded sharply, denouncing the fans and making it clear that no one could ever rival his fatherโs impact on African music and culture.
The situation worsened when Wizkid, reportedly in response to Seunโs accusations, appeared to make dismissive comments online, which many interpreted as an attack on Seun and his fatherโs legacy. A public back-and-forth followed, escalating the tension and ultimately leading to Seunโs firm statement that there was no turning back from the feud.
Since then, both Seun and Wizkid have remained at odds, with the dispute continuing to stir conversations across the Nigerian music scene.
