Grammy nominated Afrobeats singer, Seun Kuti, has finally reacted to allegations of beating and verbally assaulting his wife.
This comes after Seun was heard screaming at his wife during his infamous altercation with a police officer in a viral video.
During the encounter on the 3rd Mainland Bridge, the wife came out from his car in apparent move to calm him down but he charged at her and ordered her back in the car.
Yewande immediately dashed back in obvious fright. The incident got many Nigerians speculating that the singer’s wife may be a victim of domestic violence.
Debunking the claims, the son of legendary Nigerian Afrobeat artiste, Fela Kuti, during a recent Instagram live session with fans, said his wife is not scared of him, rather he is the one who is scared of her.
According to him, those who are close to his family can attest to the fact that he is the one who is scared of his wife.
Seun Kuti noted that those speculating the rumours are jealous to see a man talk to his wife and she obeys.
He added that he has never even hit his 9-year-old daughter before.
In his words, “The most important rumour I must dispel, is the one they said that I’m beating my wife. They said I screamed at her to get into the car [in the viral video] and she went into the car.
“That she is scared of me. My wife is not scared of me. Trust me, if you know anybody that knows us, I’m the one that’s scared of my wife. But my wife respects me.
“And I know that many of you Nigerian men were just jealous to see a man that can talk to his wife and his wife would listen. That’s the problem. It’s jealousy.”
