“You be this, you be that, that one na for your pocket. Me sef I be Biggie man. Do you give people food? I give people, you say you big pass Fela for where. You say you’re the new Fela; has he been to prison before? I’ve been to prison multiple times. I’m bigger than Wizkid.”
Media personality, Daddy Freeze reacts to Wizkid and Seun Kuti’s online feud regarding the comparison between Wizkid and Fela.

“Until Wizkid is ready to stand up and stone the government, he shouldn’t compare himself to Fela. Did you know that Fela was released from prison just to prevent him from dying there?”
