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.
Two Nigerian music stars, Rema and Asake, have earned a place in former U.S. President Barack Obama’s annual list of favorite songs for 2024.
On Saturday, Obama shared his handpicked selection of tracks from the year, and both artists’ songs were included.
Rema’s hit single Yayo and Asake’s collaboration with Travis Scott on Active made the prestigious list..
The list also saw the inclusion of another African artist, South Africa’s Tyla, who was featured for her song Jump, a track featuring Gunna and Skillibeng.
In addition to the African stars, Nigerian-American singers Shaboozey and Jordan Adetunji also appeared on Obama’s playlist.
Shaboozey’s A Bar Song and Adetunji’s Kehlani were celebrated for their unique sound, adding diversity to the mix.
As expected, the list also featured big names from the global music scene, with legendary artists like Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé, and Karol G all making an appearance.
These mainstream stars continue to dominate the music industry, but Obama’s inclusion of emerging artists such as Rema and Asake shows his appreciation for a variety of musical genres.
On sharing his list with his followers via X (formerly Twitter), Obama encouraged fans to explore the tracks, saying, “Here are my favorite songs from this year!
Check them out if you’re looking to shake up your playlist, and let me know if there’s a song or artist I should make sure to listen to.”
