2Face calls Wizkid vs. Fela comparisons 'ridiculous' in Nigerian music debate
Nigerian music legend Innocent Idibia, known as 2Face, has spoken out against comparisons between Wizkid and Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo-Kuti. He called the debate 'ridiculous' and argued that it fails to recognise their distinct contributions to music.
2Face stressed that Fela and Wizkid belong to different eras with unique impacts on Nigerian music. He described the comparison as unfair, particularly to Wizkid's career and achievements. The singer also warned that such discussions risk disrespecting Fela's legacy.
The artist did not reference any recent public dispute between Wizkid and Fela's son, Seun Kuti. No major social media controversy over the comparison has been documented in early 2026.
By dismissing the debate, 2Face highlighted the importance of acknowledging each artist's individual influence. His comments come as fans and critics continue to discuss the evolution of Nigerian music across generations.
