Veteran Nigerian singer 2Face Idibia has weighed in on the ongoing debate comparing Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo-Kuti with modern-day superstar Wizkid, expressing his disapproval.

Speaking on the Mic On Podcast, the music icon described the comparison as “ridiculous,” stressing that it is both disrespectful to Fela’s legacy and unfair to Wizkid’s career.

According to 2Face, placing both artists side by side ignores their different eras, impacts, and unique contributions to Nigerian music. He explained that while Fela remains an irreplaceable legend, Wizkid has also carved his own powerful path in the industry.

“It’s disrespectful to Fela, and at the same time unfair to Wizkid,” he said, making it clear that both deserve to be celebrated on their own terms.
