Famous Afrobeats performer Seun Anikulapo Kuti once said that most people who criticize President Bola Tinubu would end up loving him if they had access to him. Read Full Article...
On an episode of The Honest Podcast, the contentious musician made this claim and said that the criticism would stop if they got close to the president.
Growing up, Seun Kuti claimed he was unable to easily access the home of his fiancée because his father, the late afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, was "hated" by the public.
The instrumentalist claims that most people who criticize politicians end up endorsing their children for financial gain.
Seun said; “Being Fela’s son, growing up in Nigeria, I no even fit enter my girlfriend papa’s house. I go dey wonder say, ‘Wettin my papa sef dey do like dis wey nobody like am?’
“But I know my father; he’s a cool guy. So, what’s it about this guy that nobody likes? If I go anywhere, people would be like, ‘Oh! He’s Fela’s son…’ I know that pain. But I looked at all politicians’ children; the same people who criticise Tinubu today will praise his children tomorrow because of money.
“So, I understand that if you had access to Tinubu, you would love him. Your only hatred of him is your lack of access.”
“If you had access to Tinubu, you would love him…”
