Seun Kuti, a Nigerian musician, singer, and the youngest son of Afrobeat Pioneer, Fela Kuti, has revealed why he doesn’t believe in God.
In an interview with Hip TV, he made it clear that he doesn’t believe in the concept that people believe in when it comes to God.
According to him, he doesn’t believe in the concept that anyone is responsible for the creation and doesn’t see any reason why such a person is supposed to be giving credit.
Seun Kuti noted how 80% of human beings are living in hunger and yet, we are supposed to be God’s most prized possession. He added that he doesn’t believe in God, especially in the concept that people believe in him.
The singer made it known that despite it all, he believes there is something, but not like how we are being told.
“I don’t believe in God. Not in the concept that people believe in that there is a guy watching over everybody, will judge you when you die.
I don’t believe in the concept that anyone is responsible for the creation. If somebody created this, are we supposed to be giving the person credit?
80% of human beings are living in hunger and we are supposed to be his most prized possession. I don’t believe in God, in the concept that people believe in him. I
There is something but it isn’t like the way we are told”.

Similarly, media personality, Daddy Freeze had stirred backlash as he revealed several reasons why he can’t serve God, who he referred to as ‘god’.
According to him, he can’t serve a God who couldn’t resurrect Mohbad, who watches tithe paying children in hunger and penury, and who couldn’t stop the rigging of the election.
He stated that now it has dawned on him to change the narrative of what his parents considered to be ‘god’.
Reacting to it, via his comment section, Big Brother Naija’s former housemate, Bambam slammed him as she lectured him about his utterance.
In recent news, Seun Kuti was caught in a heated altercation at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos.
Kuti was involved in a verbal exchange with an American-based man, a confrontation that rapidly escalated and was captured in a video that has since gone viral. The man had allegedly threatened to kill Seun Kuti online. However, when faced with the singer in person, he backed down, claiming he was returning to America. Seun Kuti, unyielding, insisted that the man should not leave the airport, citing the previous threat to his life.
