The ongoing feud between the Kuti family and Grammy-winner Wizkid has escalated sharply. Seun Kuti released a video on Wednesday mocking the singer’s loyal supporters, known as Wizkid FC, questioning their physical existence outside social media.
This latest jab strikes at a sensitive point for the fanbase. The Afrobeat saxophonist argued that a real fanbase shows up in stadiums, pointing out that rival groups like Davido’s 30BG and Burna Boy’s Outsiders consistently sell out massive venues.
Ghost FC vs. The Rest
Seun Kuti did not mince words in the viral clip. The singer stated that online noise means nothing if fans do not buy tickets and fill seats.
”If you are not a ghost fan base, you be in stadium,” Kuti declared.
The musician listed the achievements of rival fanbases to drive his point home. He noted that “30BG are in stadium” and “Outsiders are in stadium,” referring to the devoted followers of Davido and Burna Boy.
Kuti then turned his attention to Wizkid FC. The son of Fela Kuti stated, “Wizkid FC? No stadium — a ghost fan base.”
He laughed off the idea of “Ghost FC” filling a venue. Seun Kuti asked, “How do we fill stadium with ghosts? Come on bro. You cannot be ghosts.”
A Deepening Rivalry
This mockery is the latest chapter in a bitter exchange that began earlier this month. The tension spiked when Wizkid claimed he is bigger than Fela Kuti in explosive reply to Seun, sparking outrage among Afrobeat purists.
The comments drew immediate fire from the Kuti clan. Shortly after the initial statement, Motunrayo Kuti drags Wizkid’s father over claim he is bigger than Fela, warning the pop star to respect the legacy of the Afrobeat pioneer.
Seun Kuti appears determined to challenge every aspect of Wizkid’s dominance, from his musical status to the validity of his fame. By attacking the fanbase directly, Kuti shifts the battle from legacy debates to current relevance and street credibility.
Observers note that “stadium status” is a major metric in the modern Afrobeats scene. Artists like Burna Boy and Davido have made headlines for selling out venues like the O2 Arena and London Stadium, setting a high bar for their peers.
Seun Kuti implies that while Wizkid FC dominates Twitter trends, they lack the physical mobilization power of their rivals. The comments are likely to provoke a fierce reaction from the fanbase, who pride themselves on defending their favorite star aggressively.
