Nigerian music star Ayodeji Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid, has appeared to respond to veteran singer Innocent Idibia, also known as 2Baba, in a fresh social media post that is stirring conversation across the entertainment scene.
The Afrobeats superstar took to Snapchat to share a cryptic but pointed message, widely interpreted by fans as a direct jab at 2Baba following the recent debate over comparisons between Wizkid and Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.
“At least make peace with your family first before having opinions about music. Old man, I’m never letting it slack in 2026 🦅,” Wizkid wrote.
The post quickly went viral, triggering mixed reactions from fans and industry watchers, with many linking the message to 2Baba’s recent comments describing comparisons between Fela and Wizkid as “ridiculous” and “disrespectful” to Fela’s legacy.
Although Wizkid did not mention 2Baba by name, the timing of the message has fuelled speculation of rising tension between the two music icons. Social media platforms, particularly X and Instagram, were flooded with reactions as fans debated the meaning and intent behind the statement.
The exchange comes amid an already heated discourse involving members of the Kuti family and Wizkid’s fan base over the comparison between Wizkid and Fela, a conversation that has dominated Nigeria’s music space in recent weeks.
Neither Wizkid nor 2Baba has issued an official clarification regarding the latest development, leaving fans to interpret the message and its implications.
