Seun Kuti, son of late Afrobeat legend, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, has said that Nigerian musicians that compare themselves with his dad cannot be like him.
Seun, who is the youngest son of the late Afrobeat pioneer, said young musicians are only using his father as an excuse to misbehave and they are not actually like him.
The singer added that Fela’s music was targeted at confronting the people in authority and was never used to talk down on the people on his level or below him because those were his people. However, he said artistes worry about things that only five per cent of Nigerians can relate to, while the rest can only fake it or dream to be like it.“We have to make sure that our hearts begin to represent our people. We don’t have to become like Fela or be on the streets and form a political party but your heart has to represent your people.
He noted: “These elites give more every year to our entertainment industry than to education. It is not happening in any country in Africa or anywhere else in the world. That’s why Nigerian artistes are able to punch so high above their weight. He added that he may be convinced to stop smoking if proper research can be carried out locally in a Nigerian university to confirm that marijuana is bad for health.
