Afrobeat star Seun Kuti has ignited controversy with a bold statement targeting Yoruba monarchs.
The fiery musician accused a staggering majority of Yoruba kings of abandoning their ancestral spiritual roots.
Through a series of explosive Instagram stories, the music icon didn’t hold back in his criticism of traditional rulers.
His scathing post read: “90% of Yoruba kings have turned their backs on our deities, yet they occupy sacred thrones while disrespecting our heritage.
They parade in splendor while
our people suffer, celebrate as poverty thrives, and bask in glory amid widespread ignorance.
Yoruba identity isn’t just about colorful festivals!”
The musician doubled down with another provocative statement: “What could be worse than a smiling king who presides over oppression?”
This fiery commentary arrives amid celebrations of the prominent Ojude Oba cultural festival.
