Veteran entertainer and activist Charly Boy has shared his thoughts on the ongoing social media feud between Grammy-winning singer Wizkid and Afrobeat musician Seun Kuti over musical influence.

Gossip News Now reports that the controversy erupted after Wizkid made comments implying that his achievements surpass those of Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.

Seun Kuti, Fela’s youngest son, responded sharply online, emphasizing that his father’s legacy extends far beyond awards or popularity. He argued that Fela’s music fostered political awareness and encouraged people to question authority—an impact he believes cannot be measured by contemporary pop success.

Charly Boy weighed in with a reflective perspective, posting a message on social media.

He contrasted Wizkid’s global fame and ability to entertain massive audiences with Fela’s fearless activism and revolutionary music.

According to Charly Boy, while Wizkid brings joy and escapism through his performances, Fela’s music challenged listeners to think critically and confront societal issues.

He noted that both artists belong to different eras and faced distinct struggles.

“While Wizkid dominates charts and headlines today, Fela shaped minds and inspired courage,” Charly Boy wrote.

He concluded by reminding fans that true greatness is not measured by popularity alone, but by the lasting impact one leaves on people’s hearts and minds.

“Wizkid can make your body move, Fela can make your mind free,” he added.
