Singer Seun Kuti has shared a rather unconventional parenting approach, explaining how “stressing” his daughter actually brings him joy and fulfillment.
In an interview with NotJustOk Originals on YouTube, Kuti revealed that his favorite place to be is at home because it gives him the opportunity to playfully challenge his daughter.
“Most parents don’t know that why your kids stress you is because you don’t stress them first. Let me give you parenting tips now, these children think that because they are small, they don’t have sense, so they can stress you. ‘You’re just a baby’ quickly reverse it. Be the stress in your child’s life. That’s my most fun thing to do – to just be at home, stress her so she has no time to stress me,” he said.
He further explained that this sense of playful control at home mirrors his experience on stage, where he enjoys commanding attention and interacting with his audience.
“Other than that, I love being on stage. The stage is also like a place I have full control where I’m also stressing a bunch of people. I take it from the house to the stage. So yeah, that’s me – stresser,” Kuti added.
By turning the tables in his relationship with his daughter, Seun Kuti finds both amusement and a sense of mastery, blending his home life philosophy with his performance energy.
