Popular musician Dede Mabiaku has weighed in on the comparisons between the late Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo-Kuti and singer Wizkid. He recently had his say during an interview on Arise TV, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, comparing Wizkid to such a legendary musician is clearly misplaced, and he blames the fact that many people do not fully understand Fela Anikulapo’s work and influence.
Dede added that Fela pretty much lived like a monk, and there are no parameters for comparing him with anyone else.
His words, “We did not uncover many of Fela’s greatness.
He wanted his skin to breathe… This is a man who lived like a monk.”
WOW.
