Motunrayo Kuti, daughter of Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, has unleashed a scathing response to Grammy-winning singer Wizkid after he boldly declared himself “bigger” than her father in an ongoing social media feud.
The exchange escalated when Wizkid responded to criticisms from Seun Kuti Fela’s son by posting messages asserting his dominance in the music scene, including statements like “I big pass your papa” and direct jabs at the Kuti family legacy. This prompted Motunrayo to address Wizkid publicly in a viral video broadcast circulating on platforms like X and Instagram.
In the clip, Motunrayo did not hold back, turning Wizkid’s words against him while defending her father’s enduring impact. She stated: “Wizkid, you said you are bigger than Fela, right? Wizkid, you are also bigger than your useless father, who abandoned you and your mum, who is now late. Since you said you are bigger than our own father, you are also bigger than your father, Muniru Olatunji Balogun. And our father is definitely bigger than your father and mother.”
She continued with sharp personal attacks: “You that abandoned your baby mamas. Don’t worry, we will all be here when they start to rubbish your own legacy too.”
The remarks reference Wizkid’s late mother and alleged family history, as well as his relationships with the mothers of his children, framing them as parallel to his claim of surpassing Fela. Motunrayo’s video has intensified the debate, drawing widespread reactions from fans of both sides. Supporters of the Kuti family praised her for protecting Fela’s revolutionary legacy rooted in activism, social commentary, and cultural influence while Wizkid’s loyal fanbase (Wizkid FC) dismissed it as irrelevant to musical achievements and global reach.
The feud traces back to Seun Kuti’s repeated warnings against fans equating modern Afrobeats stars with Fela, whom he views as unmatched in his role as a freedom fighter and genre creator. Wizkid’s clapback shifted the conversation to personal territory, leading to this family response from Motunrayo.
No direct reply from Wizkid or his team has surfaced yet on Motunrayo’s comments, but the incident continues to fuel heated discussions across Nigerian social media about legacy, respect, generational talent, and the boundaries of celebrity banter.
This latest chapter highlights the deep emotional attachment many Nigerians hold for Fela’s contributions, where comparisons often spark fierce defenses of his untouchable status.
