Singer says he's done buying expensive clothes for his kids

Seun Kuti expresses his readiness to quit buying expensive clothes for his children.

The singer shared his frustrations via his Instagram page on Monday, August 13, 2018, where he posted a photo of his cute daughter wearing a really beautiful dress. According to him, he was done buying these insanely expensive clothes for his daughter.

"I remember this day very vividly. Never buying expensive clothes for my kids. Can’t tell u how much I bough that effing dress she’s wearing. These brands are sucking the life out of black people!! The attachment to the ‘brand’ and ‘branding’ still has the same effect as slavery trust me. Gucci gang naaaah more like Gucci’s slave.

"Well back to my personal rant. Now I asked @chefyeide for it and she says. Haba, she is four now she can’t fit in it anymore, whaaaaaaat really? For that price this dress should grow with @adarakuti if that’s not the case GET THE SAX," he wrote.

The singer, activist and son to music legend, Fela Kuti made this known on Monday, June 4, 2018, via his Instagram where he said it is pointless picking up PVCs when we don't even know we are voting for.

"Shouting GET YOUR PVC UPANDAN. WHAT ARE WE VOTING FOR? My brother my sister not voting in a system that fails to represent you isn’t a lack of participation. It only becomes that if you are not actively building the system you want outside of the oppressive state. PVC na person contract ooo if u don’t collect dem sef no go collect bar, hence the advert not because it helps us.

"The leadership that must representing us will not be about winning elections or chasing your votes but will be about empowering our minds and inspiring our consciousness. It will, by its own positive essence, spur us to participate in its own party politics. We shall all be interested in its delegates and candidates for every primary and election respectively. It’s shall be OUR PARTY. When u see the party it will be your reflection.

"Then and only then do the people have a party. My people, PVC collection isn’t participation, it’s manipulation. Don’t let anyone force you to endorse their system until you are sure it represents you. Time to cast a vote of no confidence in the political system and build our own! This is the task of the #liberationgeneration," he wrote.

Seun Kuti is one of the sons of music legend, Fela Kuti and has gone on to become one of the biggest singers in this part of the world.
