Speaking in a recent episode of the I Say What I Say podcast, the veteran singer claimed that the recent controversy of Wizkid comparing himself with the late Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, was a stunt, aimed at promoting his joint EP with Asake, ‘Real.’ “It take a lot to get a mega hit now. Some go even do some kind stunt. Shey you dey see the one with ‘Wizkid pass Fela’; all these ones na stunt. “A lot of artists spark controversy on purpose so that people will stream their songs. I takes a lot to get a hit now because they have raised the bar so high,” he expressed.
