“You started your music career without originality” – Verydarkman comes for Wizkid

Social media critic Verydarkman has taken a swipe at Afrobeats star Wizkid following his recent comparison of himself with late music legend Fela Anikulapo Kuti, as he reveals how Wizkid allegedly sampled his first hit track, “Holla at your boy”.

In his reaction, Verydarkman argued that Wizkid lacks the level of originality associated with Fela and even Fela’s sons, Femi and Seun Kuti.

He questioned Wizkid’s artistic depth, particularly his stage performances, which he described as heavily dependent on backing tracks rather than live delivery.
