Afrobeat musician, Seun Kuti, has laughed off the comparison of pop star, Wizkid, to his late father, Fela Anikulapo Kuti.

Some fans of the ‘Ojuelegba’ singer had placed him on the same pedestal with the afrobeat creator after the former’s sold out show at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Friday night.

Some even suggested that Wizkid was bigger than the man whose songs he has sampled on a number of occasions.
