Why Wizkid shouldn’t compare himself to Fela- Daddy Freeze

Nigerian media personality, Ifedayo Olarinde, popularly known as Daddy Freeze, has weighed in on the controversy between the children of late Fela Kuti and Wizkid.

The broadcaster in a video, spoke about Fela’s activism, stating that he wasn’t just a musician but a freedom fighter. Daddy Freeze added that Wizkid should not compare himself to Fela until he is ready to be an activist.

“Until Wizkid is ready to stand up and stone government, he shouldn’t compare himself to Fela. Did you know that Fela was released from prison just to prevent him from dying there?. They released him to go and die at his home because they knew his death would spark an uproar if he died in the prison. That was 1995, I was a fresher in the university then. Fela was not a troublemaker; he was a freedom fighter. We are talking about music, but I cannot talk about Fela, if I don’t talk about everything he stood for. His activism and music went hand-in-glove. You can’t separate the two,” he stated.
