Hilarious And Thought-Provoking! See Why Seun Kuti Is Saying No More To Expensive Children Clothes
This is a case of desiring to see your investments grow along with your assets. That is, you desire that your asset grows but without it becoming a ‘liability’ that would need further investments while it grows. Funny, isn’t it?!
Nigerian Musician And the youngest son of legendary afrobeat pioneer, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, Oluseun Anikulapo Kuti, commonly known as Seun Kuti has revealed why he may never buy expensive clothes for his kids anymore.
According to the 35-year-old dad who leads his late father’s former band, Egypt 80, children outgrow clothes quickly, so spending so much on those designer clothing items is a waste of money.
Seun decided to rant on social media after his 4-year-old daughter- with long time girlfriend and partner, Yetunde George Ademiluyi, could no longer fit into an expensive dress he recently bought for her and according to him, judging the cost of the dress, it was supposed to grow as the little girl grew.
The musician then went ahead to mention that the expensive clothing and brands Africans go for can more or less comparable to modern day slavery.

“I remember this day very vividly. Never buying expensive clothes for my kids. Can’t tell u how much I bought that effing dress she’s wearing. These brands are sucking the life out of black people!!
The attachment to the ‘brand’ and ‘branding’ still has the same effect as slavery trust me. Gucci gang naaaah more like Gucci’s slave. Well back to my personal rant. Now I asked @chefyeide for it and she says.
Haba she is four now she can’t fit in it anymore, whaaaaaaat really? For that price this dress should grow with @adarakuti if that’s not the case GET THE SAX.”
