Afrobeat singer and activist Seun Kuti has stirred massive reactions online after delivering a no-holds-barred message against the culture of violence among some African men who equate physical force with strength and power.
In a viral video, the fiery musician tackled what he described as a destructive mindset, warning that arranging beatings or using intimidation after being offended does not demonstrate superiority but exposes foolishness.
“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 police to beat person. It doesn’t change shit, bro,” Seun Kuti said.
He went further, stating bluntly: “You are a fool if you think say to go beat person na show say you get power. You be ode.”
Seun Kuti linked the problem to a deeper lack of respect and value for fellow Africans, arguing that this toxic mentality continues to damage collective progress and mental health.
“That lack of value for each other… That’s what is fucking our psyche up,” he declared, urging Nigerians to move away from “low vibration” attitudes.
The son of legendary Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti is known for his unfiltered social commentary, and this latest outburst has sparked debates across social media platforms, with many praising his courage while others question his choice of words.
