In the recording, he said that there was no money in the music business. According to him, he has been struggling to build just one house despite the fact that he has been touting for 20 years.
He asked where the money was coming from because some of his colleagues who don’t have two albums will be buying building hotels and opening it.
Seun Kuti also complained that such artists will be driving G-wagon and Rolls-Royce and call it entertainment.
He alleged that some of them are into money laundering business.
Seun Kuti speaks about Bobrisky
Speaking further, he noted that money laundering charges were removed from crossdresser, Bobrisky’s case.
He charged the youths to see the reality of life and the game being played before them. The music act lamented that if he talks, they will label it as jealousy.
Seun Kuti also mentioned that he doesn’t mind if young people are committing crime, but they shouldn’t commit it against black people.
Recall that Kuti had shown a video of his uncompleted building to show that he was not poor.
