It's so easy to forget we were always and still are angels.
Sold a lie by the devils
we came to believe we were not of whence we came.
History reversed.
Sold an illusion, forgot our wing.
We were angels.We still are.
We will be once our wings return
We will fly again.
What is happening here isn’t even subtle. It ha snow turned into clan politics dressed up as moral outrage, and Nigerians are pretending not to see it because reverence has totally replaced reasoning.
Wizkid spoke to Seun, not to Fela, not to Afrobeat as an institution, not to Nigerian culture itself. He said, essentially, “If i think I'm bigger than your father, so what?” That’s a generational argument between two living men. Anything beyond that is just deliberate misinterpretation.
Now Femi stepping in to reframe the statement is where things get uncomfortable. At his age, with his history, with his supposed intellectual depth, twisting a very plain sentence into a cultural crime scene is just agenda.
The fanbase argument is even lazier. Wizkid does not run a militia. Fans are not employees. You don’t “control” millions of people on the internet unless you’re running a cult and last I checked, nobody has accused Wizkid of that.
This whole saga exposes something uglier than celebrity beef: Nigerians love hierarchy more than the truth. We worship legacies so hard that we forget legacies were built by humans, not saints. Fela himself was a professional iconoclast. He questioned everything. If he were alive today, he’d have probably laughed at how quickly his name is weaponized to silence disagreement.
Ironically, defending Fela by abandoning logic is the most un-Fela thing possible.
Wizkid is bigger than Fela, he is better than Fela, he has done extraordinary things over the years than Fela. Fela is great but Wizkid is greater. Wizkid is cheese and Fela is the chalk here.
Since the Kuti family is protecting Seun while throwing Wizkid who has shown them nothing but love and respect under the bus for public drags, we, the general public and Wizkid FC, will no longer regard Fela or his family. We stand with Wizkid, he is the victim of bullying here.
@instablog9ja Am I the only one noticing that his condition has gotten worse after the deliverance?🙄🙄
They should have just allowed him for us the way he was.
Now that the Grammys are over, it’s time for Nigerian artists to go back to the drawing board—and learn one key lesson from Wizkid: value yourself.
Remember when BET used to give Nigerian artists awards backstage? Wizkid changed that narrative. Today, BET puts Nigerian artists on the front stage.
Let’s respect hierarchy and loyalty.
Giving flowers to those who inspire you will never dim your own light.
