Seun Kuti’s past altercation with the police officer resurfaces amidst the online exchange.
Eko hot blog reports that Nigerian music producer and singer, Samklef, has ignited a fresh wave of social media buzz by directing his taunts towards Afrobeat artist, Seun Kuti.
In a recent jab, Samklef resurfaced Seun Kuti’s past arrest for slapping a police officer, humorously referring to them as former cellmates.
He christened Seun with a new moniker, “Very Noise Man,” suggesting a humorous twist to his reputation.
Samklef even proposed mock political roles, advocating for “Very Dark Man” for president and Seun as vice president, in what seems to be a playful dig.
This latest round of banter stems from an incident last year when Seun Kuti made headlines for physically assaulting a Nigerian police officer at Third Mainland Bridge, as reported by Kemi Filani on May 13th, 2023.
Seun Kuti defended his actions, claiming self-defense, and accusing the officer of threatening his family.
Despite his claims, the Inspector General of Police ordered his arrest, leading to a week-long detention and subsequent release on bail from the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, Lagos.
Following his release, Seun Kuti expressed gratitude to his support network, including his wife, family, and legal team, acknowledging their role in securing his freedom.
Despite the ordeal, Seun Kuti remained steadfast, opting not to pursue charges against the officer, emphasizing his commitment to moving forward positively.
The playful exchange between Samklef and Seun Kuti serves as another chapter in the ongoing saga of social media banter, highlighting the intersection of celebrity culture and public discourse in Nigeria’s vibrant entertainment scene.
