Seun Anikulapo Kuti, a famous Afrobeats singer, has remarked that most people who criticize President Bola Tinubu would end up adoring him if they had access to him.
The controversial artist claimed this on an episode of The Honest Podcast, when he explained that if they become close to the president, the criticism would stop.
Growing up, Seun Kuti stated he couldn’t freely enter his girlfriend’s house because people “hated” his father, late afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.
According to the instrumentalist, most people who criticize politicians turn around and praise their offspring for financial reasons.
Seun said; “Being Fela’s son, growing up in Nigeria, I no even fit enter my girlfriend papa’s house. I go dey wonder say, ‘Wettin my papa sef dey do like dis wey nobody like am?’
“But I know my father; he’s a cool guy. So, what’s it about this guy that nobody likes? If I go anywhere, people would be like, ‘Oh! He’s Fela’s son…’ I know that pain. But I looked at all politicians’ children; the same people who criticise Tinubu today will praise his children tomorrow because of money.
“So, I understand that if you had access to Tinubu, you would love him. Your only hatred of him is your lack of access.”
