Many users saw the tweet as a disrespect to the Afrobeat legend

Fela that is a not human but a prophet from another planet and people are comparing him with a mortal from this planet!!

If Wizkid wins Grammys every year till he dies, he'll never be as great as Fela. You, Him & the Grammy are all crazy https://t.co/V53ZaZ1Fwz

You disrespect certain legends by comparing them to others. Fela has no match. You only compare him with himself.

It is even absolutely wrong thinking about Fela and Wizkid at the same time… give at least 20 mins gap

Fela's material needs no Grammy validation. For anyone to even suggest this, it means we've failed to properly educate this generation. ?

Don't stress too much, just check the age bracket of those saying wizkid will be better than Fela. There you have you answer #shotan

Fela can't be compared to any other African musician. He created music. He didn't slap 'yanshy' lyrics on techno or afropop beats.

19 Grammys won't make Kanye bigger than 2pac, 100 Grammys won't make Wizkid bigger than Fela…

Fela is a STUDY, a philosophy, a research
