“My Father Still Sent Me $120k From the Grave” — Seun Kuti Mocks Wizkid FC

Afrobeat singer Seun Kuti has spoken strongly about the lasting legacy of his late father, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, saying the music icon is still impacting lives nearly three decades after his death.

Seun revealed that he recently received $120,000, which he described as proof that Fela’s influence and achievements are still bringing blessings to his family 29 years after his passing. According to him, this shows how powerful and enduring his father’s legacy remains.

He used the moment to respond to fans of Wizkid, often referred to as Wizkid FC, suggesting that many of them cannot point to similar achievements from their own fathers. Seun questioned how many people can still benefit from their father’s work long after the person is gone, adding that this kind of impact only comes from true accomplishment.

Seun argued that this is why comparing Wizkid to Fela is wrong. According to him, Fela’s status as an artist goes beyond popularity and clout, as his work continues to speak and provide value many years after his death.

In his words, Seun said that being Fela’s son means still enjoying his father’s blessings from the grave, something he believes most people cannot relate to. He also accused Wizkid and DJ Tunez of enjoying the attention from such comparisons, claiming they have failed to tell fans to stop using Wizkid’s name to disrespect Fela.

Overall, Seun Kuti made it clear that, in his view, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti stands in a class of his own, and comparing him to modern-day artists does not reflect the depth of his legacy or global impact.
