When asked in an interview with Saturday
Punch if people would ever see him and his half brother Femi Kuti collaborate, Seun Kutu replied;
Collaborations like that are money
spinners. If we would collaborate, it is not because we want to do
something great for music because we are already making great music
individually. But if we do it, it would mainly be for financial reason.
We agreed that as soon as we feel our career is slowing down and money
is not coming as it should, we would jump into the studio and do a money
spinner.
Asked why he hardly get engagements in Nigeria, Seun said
I don’t know. I come back here to rest
because I don’t get jobs here. I don’t understand it as well. At times, I
am saddened by it because it is just a shame. It is not even about me
but the band which has the pedigree of being a big band. But just for
political reasons, we are being excluded. I believe afro beat should be
in high demand in Nigeria, Fela did a lot for Nigerians. I watch the
shows here and it is not as if they are better than what I do.
Asked if he was serious about never getting married, Seun said;
I don’t believe in marriage. If I had
wanted to be married, I would have been working towards it. People can
decide what they want to do with their lives. I just don’t believe in
that institution especially as it is set up today
I don’t like the idea of ‘ownership.’
Nobody has the right to own anybody. This is a capitalist idea so that
people can make profit off love. You don’t make profit off love.
What if the mother of his child decides to get married to someone else?
She is free. If she wants to be married,
then that is her choice. What will I do about it? Will I put a gun to
her head and insist that she should not get married? But I know she will
not do that because we have a strong bond and we understand each other
and our partnership is great. We are raising a beautiful daughter and it
would be a big surprise if she says she wants to get married to someone
else.
sleep!
ReplyDeleteSo he is making money? I doubt
Delete@lwkmd_naija
It depends on how he views marriage. I don't see a difference between a dating couple or married one. Some dating couples live together too.
DeleteFunny ideology he got because he doesn't believe in marriage but he believes in having a patner and raising their child together 'smh' what a funny ideology indeed #onelovefromSnow#
DeleteU don't want marriage but u want "partnership". Odiegwu!

ReplyDeleteOkay
ReplyDeleteYou don't believe in marriage but you believe and love the benefit which is children?? Oga u better go and marry and stop messing around
ReplyDeleteThis guy must be high on something
ReplyDeleteSeun n his crazy capitalism ideas.
ReplyDeleteJust reading some of the comments here...
ReplyDeleteNigerians generally tend to conclude on another person's views with an insult.
Is Seun not entitled to his opinion?
If you [commentators] feel you see weak points in his argument, then point it out.
The insults are unnecessary.
The insults illustrate childishness.
I believe you Seun.... same here with Marriage but you should allow your woman get married if she so want to, she might tell you but she want to.... is Nigerian women disease.
ReplyDeleteNigerians and small mindedness... The man is entitled to live his life the way he wants to so long as he's not breaking any law.. Why una dey take parasol for another man headache? If e marry or if not, how e take consign una?
ReplyDeletewe all have choices ..i see nothing wrong in what he said, after all he has already chosen his path
ReplyDeleteListen to urself wat u re saying, u re nt concerned if ur baby mama shld get married to some1 but she wouldn't try dat bcos there is a big bond btw the both of u, then wat re we den saying?? Who re u den deceiving??
ReplyDeleteI fucking hate this guy...
ReplyDeletewhy does this guy always talk rubbish
ReplyDeleteThat is to say, you can never work with him
