Nigerian singer Seun Kuti has shared a fiery video addressing his desires amid his ongoing feud with his former friend, activist Verydarkman (VDM). The video serves as a subtle response to VDM's earlier comments about the singer.
Background of the Feud
The two were once close friends, but their relationship soured after VDM commented on Sowore during his court case with cryptocurrency businessman Blord. VDM had previously made a video promising never to disrespect Kuti, even if he were dying, citing personal reasons for his admiration.
Seun Kuti's Response
In his video, Kuti stated that he does not want anyone to love or respect him. He emphasized that he is already loved and respected at home by his family, particularly his daughter, and sees no need for external validation. He also clarified that he does not want anyone to defend him.
Fan Reactions
Fans were divided in their reactions. Some believed Kuti's comments stemmed from hurt over VDM's remarks about Sowore. Others urged both men not to let their friendship break over the issue. A few alleged that VDM might be uncomfortable with Kuti, influencing his earlier statement. Some suggested that Kuti may have seen a different side of his friend, explaining his reaction.
Recall that VDM and Kuti were once close and had visited Fela's grave together a few months ago to pay homage.
