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.
