Seun Kuti Defends Mohbad's Father Amid Controversy Over Son's Burial

Seun Kuti, the Afrobeats artist, has criticized those who have accused the late Nigerian singer Mohbad's father in the wake of his son's passing. Mohbad's burial the day after his death on September 12th sparked controversy, with some fans taking to social media to blame his father for not making proper preparations and conducting a thorough investigation.

Seun Kuti, in an interview on The Honest Bunch podcast, argued that the deceased father is facing undue scrutiny due to his economic circumstances. He explained that poverty is a significant factor in the controversy surrounding Mohbad's death. Seun Kuti stated, "People are suggesting that Mohbad's father is responsible for his death because he buried him quickly. Who would want to keep their son's deceased body for two to three days?"

He went on to say that if it were the child of a wealthy individual like Otedola who had passed away and been buried overnight, people would not react the same way. Instead of offering condolences to the grieving father, there has been unwarranted scrutiny, painting him as someone capable of harming his own son, which Seun Kuti believes is unfair given the tragic loss he has endured, the Afrobeats artist, has criticized those who have accused the late Nigerian singer Mohbad's father in the wake of his son's passing.
