Afrobeat artiste, Seun Kuti has lamented over not having everyone’s support when he started doing music over 20 years ago.
The talented saxophonist said from the day his father passed on, only a handful of people ever believed in him. He added that even family and friends gave his career a lifespan.
A sober Seun took to his Instagram page to share his story.
“Let me tell you guys how I started. From the day my father died, only a handful of people ever believed in me. In fact family friends and press used to give my career a time span, first it was 2 then it was 5 then it was 7 but it’s been 20 years now. So I have never been one who moved forward with massive support. Not from the public nor in private. I am a man that is propelled by conviction and responsibility. I don’t care about being liked and I surely don’t care about supporters club! I am proud of my dna. I am proud that the dominant gene in my parents union is that of my father. I am proud of his sacrifice and that of those before him. I am proud of all his characteristics and understand all his decisions. I AM MY FATHER’S son”, he said.
Seun Kuti was born on January 11, 1983, to the music legend and Nigeria’s biggest music export, Fela Anikulapo Kuti. He was known to have always been around his father from his early age. His music influence began after it was reported that he told his father that he wanted to sing for him at the tender age of 9.
