News: Seun Kuti argues that monogamy is unnatural, and he alludes to his father Fela Kuti's numerous romantic relationships to illustrate his point.

Nigerian musician Seun Kuti recently expressed his views on monogamy during an appearance on the Bad and Boujee podcast with hosts Tolani Baj and Moet Abebe. He shared his belief that monogamy is ineffective, especially for influential men who he believes should be supported by multiple partners, or "goddesses," as designated by their ancestral heritage.

During the discussion, Seun made a striking revelation about his grandfather, the iconic Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti. He disclosed that, in addition to his well-known 27 wives, Fela had over 100 girlfriends, many of whom lived with the family. Seun's comments have ignited controversy among the public, particularly given his own marital status. He argued that the idea of monogamy does not align with human nature and cited his grandfather’s lifestyle as an example of a more natural approach to relationships. This viewpoint has sparked significant debate and backlash online.

Here are some reactions to Seun Kuti's video:

emeka_ commented:

    “I prefer to marry one woman. Monogamy is better for maintaining peace of mind. Polygamy feels like managing a small business.”

dorapanther suggested:

    “Nigerian women, we can raise our standards. These men treat white women with utmost respect and take responsibility, while we praise them for doing the bare minimum.”

_rashydah_ remarked:

    “It’s clear why he said he wouldn’t mind if his children weren’t his. With so many goddesses around, he can’t expect his partner to act differently.”

elohor_travel_tales responded:

    “This implies he has many girlfriends. Nigerian married women are really enduring.”

teenah_hair noted:

    “Interesting comments from someone who has just one wife.”
