Seun Kuti urges parents to never make their kids be like them

Nigerian singer-songwriter and saxophonist Seun Kuti has admonished parents to never impose their ‘damaged’ ideologies on their children.

According to Seun Kuti, the son of the legendary Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, most parents are damaged, hence, their children should not be allowed to go through a similar path.

Speaking further, the leader of his father’s former band Egypt 80 mentioned that parents should become more like their kids and not ‘betray the true saints’.
