Nigerian Afrobeat artist Seun Kuti has sparked controversy on social media by labeling American rapper Kanye West as a “dangerous person to all Africans.” Seun made this statement on Friday, March 1, through a post on his official Instagram page, but he did not provide any specific reasons to support his claims. This lack of explanation left many of his fans wondering about the basis for his accusations.
This isn’t the first time Seun has expressed his disdain for Kanye West. In 2018, Kanye made remarks against Seun’s father, Fela Kuti. Kanye took to Instagram to proclaim himself as the world’s greatest artist, likening himself to icons like Tupac, Nelson Mandela, and Fela. Seun responded angrily on his own Instagram account, expressing doubt that Kanye truly connected with the spirit of Fela.
Seun’s recent statement criticizing Kanye West has reignited tensions between the two artists, with social media buzzing over the exchange. While Seun did not elaborate on why he considers Kanye to be detrimental to Africans, his previous clashes with the rapper suggest deep-seated animosity stemming from Kanye’s comments about Fela Kuti.
