Seun Kuti should know that International bodies are no fools.

They watch celebrity behaviour and mannerism.

Seun Kuti snubbed the French President Mr Macron by deliberately absenting himself from the event organised in the year 2018 in Lagos that was attended by the French President to honour his late father, Fela Anikulakpo Kuti for his musical contributions towards entertainment and global development.

Current governor of Lagos state, Akinwunmi Ambode hosted the French President with the presence of Femi Kuti, the late Fela senior son but Seun Kuti was noticeably absent from that important event. Which was more important? An event meant to honour his late father whose legacies he now stands and feed from? or the show he was invited to perform in the USA?

No doubts, it is well known fact that Seun Kuti had disagreement that historically date back some years with his senior brother Femi Kuti who was the key organizer of the program that was scheduled to honour the father. Somehow, Seun Kuti feel less disposed and less happy to be part of the event but preferred to attend musical shows in USA as at that time of President Macron 's visit.

But snubbing an International figure like the French President to spite your estranged brother especially at an event meant to honour your father was a sour grapes too bitter to sip.

Fela Anikulakpo Kuti, your father was a man you took after his afro beat music of which your father legacies have driven you from a PETTY STREET BOY and WEED SMOKER to an internationally recognized afro beat musician.

President Macron valued your father musical legacies and his contribution to art and entertainment hence he had to fly all the way from Paris France to commission projects in Fela 's name and above all honour the EBAMI EDA himself Afro beat singer Late Fela Anikulakpo Kuti.

In a nutshell, International bodies use all this to judge music artists before rating and given award.

It is not just how good a musicians music is but good behaviour, mannerism etc equally counts.

And Jaguda boy like Seun fell into this snare or trap.
learn to reason abeg....Ur sense of judgement is ZERO

what will u say about the brawl between ARIANA GRANDE and GRAMMY organisers and yet Grammy still awarded Ariana the best pop Vocal album

they are commercial artistes with zero creativity/uniqueness.


did u also realise that these same traditional classical singers perform shows in Europe,America and asia where white people are mostly fans ?..... compared to Davido,Wizkid etc concerts in Europe which are usually dominated by africans or carribbeans
