Seun Kuti Critiques Nigerian Artists’ Spending, Highlights Father’s Wealth
Seun Kuti, son of Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti, recently shared insights about his late father’s wealth and criticized contemporary Nigerian artists for their extravagant spending. In a recording, Seun recounted that his father, Fela, generously provided for everyone in the Kalakuta Republic, supporting over 500 people daily. Seun revealed that as a child, his daily pocket money exceeded his teacher’s salary.
He recalled an incident where his sister tore a N50 note, prompting teachers to ban students from bringing such large amounts to school and to limit them to N5. Despite this, Seun admitted to hiding money in his socks to disobey the rule.
Seun criticized current Nigerian singers for their frivolous spending on luxury cars and lavish lifestyles, likening their behavior to that of politicians. He also highlighted that the money he was supposed to inherit was instead used to care for the less privileged. This is not the first time Seun has called out artists; he previously criticized Diddy over his assault case with Cassie.
Nigerian singer Harry song speaks on the rising insecurity in the country and shared that increasing the security income can help improve their performance in securing the country.
The singer took to social media and urged the government “TO MR PRESIDENT. IF YOU REALLY, TRULY WANNA END INSECURITY IN NIGERIA? Start by increasing the salary and allowances of the armed forces. The salary of the army, the navy, the air force, the Nigerian Police Force is too small, too shameful. Increase their salary, this job should be worth dying for. Increase their salaries ooooooo pls and pls.”
Nigerian singer, Peter Okoye from the former duo P-Square, shares his greatest fear. During a recent interview, the singer spoke about his fears and revealed that he is not afraid of death.
Instead, he said he is scared of poverty and has this fear because he has experienced it before. “I am not afraid of death. The only thing I am afraid of in this life is poverty, of being broke.
“I have tasted it [poverty] before. I have been in our house with my parents and siblings, and a bulldozer came and demolished it.”
Popular Nigerian singer, Davido, makes headlines for his gesture of goodwill. It can be noted that during the afternoon performance, the singer paused for one minute of silence to honor his colleague Wizkid’s mother.
The singer paused during his performance and said “Personally, I have lost many loved ones, people close to me, so I understand how Wizkid is feeling right now. May his mother, our mother because she was dear to me, rest in peace.”
This gesture touched many fans, as they were in awe of the singer showing a kind heart despite the usual rivalry between their fan bases.
