Seun Kuti pointed out that those spreading rumors are envious of a man talking to his wife, and she listened.
He also stated that he has never hit his 9-year-old daughter.
The singer said;
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 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.
