‘I Must Have Been Under Duress When I Negotiated It’ – Seun Kuti Opens Up On Marriage Challenges

Grammy-nominated Nigerian singer, Seun Kuti, has revealed that his wife’s allowance is the most challenging thing in their marriage.

Naija News reports that the singer made this known during their interview on Pulse Fun Facts, where couples asked questions from each other regarding their union.

Seun’s wife, Yetunde Kuti, asked, “What is most challenging thing you have endured in our relationship?”

In response, the singer explained that his wife’s monthly allowance is very high, stressing how hard it is to put the funds together.

He said, “My wife’s allowance is very high. Seven figures monthly. That’s challenging because I have to work so hard for it and it’s not easy. It’s very very high. I must have been under duress when I negotiated it.” 

How MKO Abiola Framed Fela Kuti For Armed Robbery

Meanwhile, Seun Kuti, one of the sons of Afrobeat legend, Fela Kuti, has revealed that the late MKO Abiola and his wife, Simbiat, falsely accused his father of armed robbery during Muhammadu Buhari’s military regime.

Seun recounted that Abiola and Simbiat accused Fela of stealing their Ferrari at gunpoint. During this period, laws enforced by Buhari’s Deputy Head of State, Tunde Idiagbon, made armed robbery a capital offence.

Seun explained that Fela avoided the setup because he was performing in Cameroon at the time the Abiolas lodged the false allegation at a police station.
