The son of legendary Afrobeats maestro, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, Seun, has described insinuations he lambasted fellow singer, Burna Boy, for saying that no artiste paved the way for him
Seun Kuti said it was wrong to accuse him of criticising his colleague.
He said,
“I didn’t disagree with Burna Boy. Why would I disagree with someone about his own life? That would be wrong. I don’t want people to misinterpret what I wrote independently. I am not personal with my issues. African music has always been a large family for me. So, it is impossible for me not to pay homage to many great African artistes, especially when many of them have impacted our lives directly.
“It is a form of disrespect when someone makes a blanket statement and people try to attach it to one person. We are Africans and we are respectful people.
“Unlike politics, our musical ancestry has been very loyal and patriotic and we also give them that loyalty and respect. For me, I really respect the African music ancestry, so I wouldn’t criticise Burna Boy.”
