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 rapper, Mr Real takes to social media and apologises to D’banj regarding the issue with the singer’s creative platform, CREAM.
It can be recalled that Mr Real came to social media and claimed that the CREAM platform could not pay him what he was offered, which was 20 million naira for an ambassadorship.
Later on, his statement received so much backlash on social media and brought about reports to the platform. D’banj also filed a case against the singer.
However, Mr Real has now taken to social media to apologise to D’banj and the CREAM platform over his comments and takes them back.
Nigerian singer, Portable shared his thoughts on the comparison between Wizkid and Fela Kuti.
The singer compared and asked if Wizkid has been to prison before, recalling Fela Kuti’s days in prison.
He then added that he has been to prison more than Wizkid.
“You be this, you be that, that one na for your pocket. Me sef I be Biggie man. Do you give people food? I give people, you say you big pass Fela for where. You say you’re the new Fela; has he been to prison before? I’ve been to prison multiple times. I’m bigger than Wizkid.”
Media personality, Daddy Freeze reacts to Wizkid and Seun Kuti’s online feud regarding the comparison between Wizkid and Fela.
Daddy Freeze shared his thoughts and stated how he thinks Wizkid can’t be compared to Fela and they don’t have the same impact.
“Until Wizkid is ready to stand up and stone the government, he shouldn’t compare himself to Fela. Did you know that Fela was released from prison just to prevent him from dying there?”
He then added that Fela was not just a singer but a freedom fighter.
