Well we did this when we reduced Fela's legacy to smoking weed, two-fist salutes and being contrarian.

Every Tunde, Chidi and Dafe who can wear briefs, smoke weed, hold a note and be "controversial" now thinks they are Fela🤷🏽

We disrespect Fela a lot. https://twitter.com/AbaraMmesoma/status/1247878079592173568
Fela was a bonafide POWERFUL man who had so much influence and was such a threat that a military regime invaded his house using battlefield rules of engagement, like it was hostile armed enemy territory.

Fela was an institution, not a mildly talented asshole.
