Afrobeat legend 2Baba has stirred up conversation across the music world by dismissing comparisons between contemporary superstar Wizkid and the late icon Fela Kuti as “ridiculous.”
In a candid statement, 2Baba emphasized that while Wizkid is undeniably talented, Fela’s influence, revolutionary spirit, and cultural impact are in a league of their own. “You can’t compare artistry and legacy like that,” he reportedly said, igniting debates among fans and music critics alike.
Social media erupted almost instantly, with supporters of both artists weighing in. Some defend Wizkid’s global reach, while others insist 2Baba is right—Fela’s music and activism defined an era. Music analysts say the remarks could spark a broader discussion about legacy versus modern fame in African music.
With the Afrobeat community buzzing, it’s clear that 2Baba’s blunt take has turned a fan debate into a full-blown continental conversation about respect, influence, and the true measure of a musical legend.
