In February 2017, Seun Kuti said it was better for the government to invest in education than in refineries. He also told Nigerians to resist the political system that is holding the country back.

Known for his conscious lyrics, Seun Kuti observed that Nigerians do not want to hear his music because it reminds them of their numerous problems.

"OAPs tell me that Nigerians don’t want to hear my music because it reminds them of their problems, so for that even my music cannot be played on the radio," said Seun Kuti in an interview with Sahara TV back in February 2017.

While his music might not be necessarily topping charts here, Seun Kuti's stock has grown abroad. He was recently seen hanging with the son of another music legend .
