In a recent interview with Apple Music's Zane Lowe in New York, Burna Boy, a prominent singer and the grandson of Fela Kuti's first manager, shared his perspective on Fela's impact. Burna expressed the belief that it's fortunate Fela didn't live in the current generation, as his modern-day fans might have criticized him and even called for his arrest. He reflected on the irony that many of those celebrating Fela today could have reacted negatively to his actions if they had occurred in the age of social media.

Burna further explained that he sees the current times as different, emphasizing that the current climate is dominated by a lack of spirituality and an abundance of ignorance. He expressed gratitude that Fela lived in his era, allowing people to experience the genuine essence of his beliefs, creative expression, and the messages he conveyed through his music.
