Afrobeat musician Seun Kuti has denied using Wizkid’s name to revive his career, describing the claims as baseless.
Kuti has been accused of chasing clout with Wizkid’s name after he repeatedly criticised the Starboy boss and his fans during recent livestreams.
In a video, Kuti highlighted his achievements, stating that he performed 82 shows globally in the past year, with sold-out concerts in Australia, Europe, America, and Brazil.
Kuti emphasised his established international presence, questioning the notion that his career needs revival.
He likened himself to a Big Bird, stating that the music industry is vast enough for all artists to succeed.
He said: “Some people are saying I am trying to use Wizkid to revive my career. When did my career die for me to be trying to revive it? Last year alone, I did 82 shows globally.
“I sold out shows in Australia, Europe, America, and Brazil. I have people who are fans of my music worldwide. I call myself Big Bird because the sky is big for everybody. Because no matter how big you are, you can’t occupy the whole sky.
“People whose careers need revival know themselves. It is not me.”
