The singer has repeatedly denied any involvement in domestic violence.
Seun Kuti, an Afrobeat singer, has spoken out in response to the recent assault claim and allegations of domestic abuse leveled against his wife.
In a recent Instagram live session, the Afrobeat star denied rumors of violence in his marriage, emphasizing respect and mutual understanding.
Kuti clarified his position on the matter in response to speculations sparked by a video showing him instructing his wife to return to their vehicle.
He denied that his wife complies out of fear, saying, “My wife is not afraid of me.” Believe me, if you know anyone who knows us, I’m the one who is afraid of my wife. “However, my wife respects me.”
The singer addressed those spreading the rumors, blaming their actions on jealousy and an inability to understand a healthy and communicative marriage between a husband and wife.
He defended himself, saying, “The most important rumor I need to dispel is that I’m beating my wife.” “That Seun can talk to his wife and she will listen to him,” he continued. That’s what all of you celebrities do.”
Kuti used his relationship with his daughter as an example to prove his point.
“Even my daughter, Adara, I have never spanked her before,” he boasted. In December, she will turn ten. She has never said Seun, her father, has ever beaten her in her nine and a half years of life.”
