If You Think You Must B+at Someone to Show Power, Then You Are a F+ol — Seun Kuti Educates Nigerians
Afrobeat singer Seun Kuti has sparked reactions online after calling out what he described as a toxic mindset among some African men who feel the need to prove power through violence.
Speaking in a recent video, the outspoken musician warned that trying to show superiority after being offended does not prove strength but f+olishnes.
“Wait, make I talk. Some of you feel say, as an African man, if somebody offends you, you must show say you pass am. You go arrange boys, or you go arrange police, to b+at, to do this one. It doesn’t change s**t, bro.”
He stressed that using force or intimidation does not solve anything, adding that such beliefs only d@mage society and relationships among Africans.
“It doesn’t change sh+t, so I’m not, me, I don’t be young man before now. It just… you are a f+ol, if you still believe in all those kind of nons£nse.”
Seun went even further, saying anyone who believes b+ating others proves power is deeply mistaken.
“You are a f+ol, if you think say to go b+at person na show say you get power. You be ode. That’s what make dem dey catch us with that.”
According to him, the real problem lies in the lack of respect Africans have for one another, which he believes is d@maging their collective mindset.
“That lack of value for each other, where we think say, yes, you must d£stroy an African man, you must ins¥lt, you must do your worst to African men. That’s what is f¥cking our psyche up. That’s what is f¥cking our psyche up. You understand? So I’m not interested in low vibration. Make I tell you wetin dey happen.”
