Is Wizkid Greater Than Fela Anikulapo Kuti

[mrsam]

On Friday night, Nigeria music superstar, Wizkid, headlined a show at the Royal Albert Hall in London and the show was a spectacular success with tickets sold out.

This achievement prompted a debate on social media with some of his fans claiming that he is far better than the legendary afrobeat musician, Fela Anikulapo Kuti.

Fela fans however claimed that such comparison is an insult on Fela who sold Nigerian music to the world in an era where social media was not even available

Has Wizkid done enough to claim he is better than Fela?

This is a silly argument based on complete ignorance. Good job from wizkid, his pormoters etc but it was one night at the Albert Hall. It was 5k in the audience.

The show ABOUT Fela was playing to sold out crowds Night after night across the world.

Let us stop the madness!

It is about facts rather than anything else. He did one night in a London venue and now he is the greatest.

Ah.

I never said he's greater than Fela. I only said old timers will never agree with the argument.

The majority of those saying Wizkid's greater were mostly babies when Fela died.
