Seun Kuti, a renowned Nigerian singer and son of Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti, has responded to allegations made by content creator Verydarkblackman, accusing Bobrisky, a popular Nigerian crossdresser, of being involved in money laundering.
In his reaction, Kuti expanded the discussion, claiming that many Nigerian celebrities are engaged in illicit financial activities, which is why they are often seen living lavish lifestyles and throwing extravagant parties.
He specifically pointed out Bobrisky’s opulent lifestyle, questioning how the crossdresser could afford such luxury without having a known source of significant income.
Kuti, who has been in the music industry for over two decades, expressed frustration over how such practices mislead young people into believing that wealth in the entertainment industry comes easy. He shared his thoughts on social media, writing:
“I’ve been touring for 20 years but I’m only able to build a house this year. Most of your artistes and entertainers are involved in money laundering. Ask yourself what is Bobrisky really working that he goes around spraying money and buying mansions? Many people use them to clean their money.”
Kuti further condemned celebrities who deceive the younger generation by portraying false images of success, adding, “I’m happy VDM had to leak that voice tape,” referring to Verydarkblackman’s claims.
This statement has sparked conversations about transparency in the entertainment industry and the true sources of wealth for many Nigerian public figures.
