Seun Kuti, the Nigerian Afrobeats singer and son of Fela Kuti, has responded to allegations of physically and verbally assaulting his wife. In a viral video showing an altercation between Seun and a police officer, some Nigerians speculated that his wife may be a victim of domestic violence due to his behavior.
During an Instagram live session with fans, Seun addressed these claims and debunked them. He stated that his wife is not scared of him; in fact, he is the one who is scared of her. According to Seun, those close to his family can attest to the fact that he is the one who fears his wife.
Seun Kuti expressed his belief that the rumors were fueled by jealousy, as people were surprised to see a man communicating with his wife and having her listen. He emphasized that his wife respects him and that he has never laid a hand on his 9-year-old daughter.
In his statement, Seun dismissed the allegations of domestic violence and attributed them to envy and jealousy.
