My grudge against Wizkid is for life – Seun Kuti

Afrobeat artist Seun Kuti has doubled down on his ongoing feud with fellow Nigerian musician Wizkid, asserting that there is no chance for reconciliation.

In a candid interview with Selah Meditate, Seun firmly rejected claims that their differences had been resolved.

“No, what are you talking about? Please, let’s move on. I don’t want to talk about that,” 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. “My grudge for Wizkid is on for life because you don’t say things about my dad and think it’s fine. No, there is no coming back from that,” he added.

The roots of Seun’s 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 Wizkid’s 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 father’s impact on African music and culture.

The situation worsened when Wizkid, reportedly in response to Seun’s accusations, appeared to make dismissive comments online, which many interpreted as an attack on Seun and his father’s legacy. A public back-and-forth followed, escalating the tension and ultimately leading to Seun’s 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
