‘If Only His Father Had Discipline Over His Loin…’ -Seun Kuti Slams Aisha Yesufu For Advocating Women’s Liberation, She Fires Back
Convener of Bring Back Our Girls Movement, Aisha Yesufu has gone on X to call out Seun Kuti over a video he made addressing her.
The popular Afrobeat musician had slammed Aisha over her advocacy for women’s liberation.
Kuti blasted the activist while recounting how he disagreed with her stance on women’s freedom during a TV show.
Condemning Yesufu for advocating for the liberation of Nigerian women while putting on Hijab, the musician advised her to first liberate herself from her Hijab as he also argued that embracing Islamic or Christian practices leads to abandoning African identity.
He then stated that African women enjoy greater freedom than women in other parts of the world.
Seun in a post on his official page said:
“It’s the Africanness in us that is helping your European behaviour. That is why Aisha Yesufu and I engaged in an argument on TV, she wan dey talk anyhow, and I told her father off.
“Once you are a Christian or Muslim, you have abandoned Africanness. That one tied hijab saying she wanted to liberate Nigerian women. M**herf**ker liberates yourself from your Hijab first.”
Responding, Aisha wrote on X:
“Seun Kuti @RealSeunKuti wants to trend with my name as his karaoke business no make am blow alongside those wey dey do music.
“Imagine being angry that I am holding government accountable and not private sector!
“I don’t blame him sha! If only his father had discipline over his loin we would not be dealing with the consequence of that lack of discipline!
“Person wey people dey book im show because dem wan see a caricature of his father even if they can’t have the real thing.”
