Popular Afrobeat musician Seun Kuti has openly criticized Aisha Yesufu over her stance on women’s liberation.
Seun recalled disagreeing with Yesufu’s views on women’s freedom during a TV show appearance.
Seun condemned Yesufu for advocating women’s liberation while wearing a hijab, arguing that following Islamic or Christian customs means leaving behind African identity.
According to Seun Kuti, adopting religious practices like these go against the African essence.
In a post on his official page, Seun Kuti wrote, “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.”
He continued, saying, “Once you are a Christian or Muslim, you have abandoned Africanness. That one tied hijab saying she wanted to liberate Nigerian women. Mherfker liberates yourself from your Hijab first.”
