Nigerian Afrobeat musician Seun Kuti has distanced himself from the ongoing public drama between fellow artists Burna Boy and Speed Darlington, urging both sides to settle their differences without involving him.
In a recent interview, Seun Kuti made it clear that he does not want to be dragged into the controversy, which has seen Burna Boy and Speed Darlington exchange a series of public insults and accusations on social media. Seun, who is known for his outspoken views and advocacy for African music, took to his social media platforms to address the issue directly.
“I’ve got my own lane, and I’m focused on my music and activism. I don’t want to be caught up in any drama between Burna Boy and Speed Darlington. Everyone should handle their beefs on their own,” Seun Kuti said. “I am not a part of this, and I don’t plan to be.”
The back-and-forth between Burna Boy and Speed Darlington began earlier this week after Speed Darlington made remarks about Burna Boy’s musical style and personal life. The two have been trading barbs ever since, with Burna Boy, known for his no-holds-barred approach to controversy, responding in his typical assertive fashion.
Seun Kuti’s comments have sparked a wave of reactions from fans and industry observers alike, with many agreeing that he should remain neutral, especially considering his family legacy and standing in the Nigerian music scene.
Though the drama between Burna Boy and Speed Darlington shows no sign of subsiding, Seun Kuti’s stance serves as a reminder of the broader focus on artistry and the importance of personal boundaries in the volatile world of entertainment.
As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen whether Burna Boy and Speed Darlington will resolve their issues or continue to air their grievances in public.
Seun Kuti, for now, has made it clear: “I’m staying out of it.”
