Nigerian Afrobeat Singer Seun Kuti reveals how Nigerians dragging him on the internet over slapping a policeman nearly cost him his career.

The singer in an Instagram live video on Monday 2nd October 2023, addressed the general public, noting that he doesn’t want to be associated with the ongoing investigation of the late 27years singer Mohbad’s death.

He expressed his exasperation, stating that he did not want to be roped in any issues concerning the police given his history with them.

“I’m tired of seeing my name everywhere attached to Sam Larry, Naira Marley, arrest or no arrest, police or no police. I’m really tired and I don’t want you guys to join me in your issues.”

He went on to slam Nigerians  ‘keypad warriors’, stressing that his career was nearly ruined due to their clamor for him to be prosecuted for slapping a policeman in uniform in May 2023. Kuti added that he was trying to defend himself and his family, alleging that nobody cared at the time.

“That was how una used una mouth nearly spoil my life, nearly destroying my career with una yeye keypad and computer. I missed five or six big shows this summer just because I defended my life and the life of my family. For that reason Nigerians wanted my life to be ended, for me to be destroyed and nobody cared”.

He went on to note how nobody supported him, and was rather tagged a problematic person.

“Nigeria Police suddenly became an innocent and peaceful force on earth. And Seun became the mad person that left his house looking for police to quarrel with. That was the picture you people painted about me then,” he added.
