Popular Nigerian singer Timaya has described late Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo-Kuti as one of the major figures responsible for the global growth of Nigerian music.
Timaya made the remarks while speaking on the Afrobeats Intelligence podcast, where he reflected on Fela’s influence on Nigerian artistes and the wider African music scene.
The singer said Fela’s contribution to music had gone beyond Nigeria, noting that the late musician continued to command significant recognition in other African countries.
According to Timaya, Fela’s music and legacy remain particularly respected in Cameroon, where he claimed a radio programme is dedicated to playing his songs on weekends.
Without Fela, nobody would have known us and we wouldn’t be here singing music. I call him Baba because he didn’t inspire only me and other Nigerians,” Timaya said.
The singer added that Fela’s impact on Nigerian music was so significant that he could not disrespect the late musician or members of his family.
Fela is the greatest man I can never in my life disrespect him nor his family,” he added.
Timaya’s comments highlight the enduring influence of Fela, whose music, activism and Afrobeat sound have continued to shape generations of Nigerian and African musicians.
Nigerian gospel artiste Nutty Josh, whose real name was Joshua Acheme Edache, has passed away following reports of a severe road accident that left him in a medical coma for nearly a month.
Kingdomboiz had earlier reported that the exact circumstances surrounding his death had not been independently confirmed, and that further details were being awaited.
New information obtained from people familiar with the situation reveals that Nutty Josh sustained injuries during an incident at a motorcycle training school in Abuja about five weeks before his death.
A runaway driver was reportedly involved in the accident. However, contrary to an earlier account, the driver was not riding a power bike.
Following the incident, he experienced persistent headaches and difficulty breathing, although the seriousness of these symptoms was reportedly not immediately known to those around him.
At one point, Nutty Josh appeared to be recovering and attended church, where he testified about how God had helped him through the incident.
However, upon his return to the hospital afterwards, medical professionals discovered that he had also sustained internal injuries.
He subsequently underwent further examination and treatment, and was later placed in a medically induced coma.
Sadly, he passed away on Sunday morning, September 20, 2026.
These details describe the events preceding his death and should not be interpreted as an officially confirmed medical cause of death.
While family members have yet to release an official detailed statement regarding the final medical cause of death, tributes continue to pour in from fans and fellow artists honoring his contributions to gospel music.
Kingdomboiz appreciates those who provided clearer information concerning the situation and extends its heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, colleagues, and everyone affected by his passing.
His popular songs include:
· “Thankful” (featuring Onos)
· “Never Let You Go” (featuring Henrisoul)
· “Ainya”
· “OMG”
· “Way Maker”
