Afro-beat Singer, Seun Kuti says he is the only artist that stops people from spraying him money
Afrobeat singer Seun Kuti recently claimed to be the only musician who refuses to be sprayed with money while performing. In a video message on his Instagram page, he stated that he actively prevents people from spraying money on him during his performances. Kuti also criticized the widespread practice of naira abuse, particularly among fuji musicians who often praise individuals in their songs with the expectation of receiving cash.
His comments come amid the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s (EFCC) crackdown on naira abusers. Kuti highlighted that he doesn’t even like to be sprayed and emphasized that he is the only artist who stops people from doing so. He mentioned that even his father, the legendary Fela Kuti, didn’t prevent people from spraying him but demanded specific denominations.
Seun Kuti’s stance against being sprayed with money during performances aligns with his principles, reflecting a departure from the norm in the music industry where such practices are common.
