“Stop Using Your Ancestors As A Tooth Pick” – Seun Kuti Accuses Wizkid And Burna Boy Of Piracy

Seun kuti Son of Afrobeat legend, Fela Kuti has fired shots at popular Nigerian artistes using his late father’s lyrics in their songs.

Reportedly Seun Kuti had earlier in a series of posts, some few months back, claimed that Wizkid does not deserve to be called a Grammy nominee, asking him to stop parading himself as a Grammy nominee.

In a new post, Seun while warning fans who compared Wizkid and Burna Boy to his late father, called out artists who steal his lyrics, noting they can not be greater than late Fela. 

According to Seun, his late father, Fela is bigger and greater than any other afrobeat artist Nigeria would ever produce. Deducing from what he said even if they steal his father’s lyrics they can never be bigger or more legendary than his late father, Fela Kuti.

He wrote;

“I have warned many of u, many times to stop using your ancestors as a tooth pick, especially those that fought for u but your ignorance just won’t let u be so you can’t learn and that’s why you keep living a cursed life of criminality without direction, infatuation without love, present without future, and pleasure without control.

You are cursed to be indisciplined and you think you are having fun. These kids don’t know!!! #getthesax

You can’t be greater than that which you take and steal from! Until fela comes back from the dead and steals some of your faves music, uses their lyrics the ways they steal his lyrics the and music, your comparison is null and void. Baba ni dads nje!”
