Nigerian Afrobeat musician Seun Kuti has accused singer Wizkid of stealing his nickname.
He made the claim during a recent livestream after a Wizkid fan urged him to change his nickname from “Big Bird” because Wizkid also bears “Biggest Bird”.
Kuti told the fan to advise Wizkid to be original, stressing that he has been answering the name long before Wizkid.
“Wizkid stole my name. Tell your fave to be original. Why are you telling me to change my name? Sorry, I can’t change it.
"This name has been here since. I am the first to come up with it. I am not dragging it with anybody, please,” he said.
“Wizkid stole my name. Tell your fav to be original. This name has been here since. Nah me first put am.”
