Popular Afrobeat musician, Seun Kuti, has slammed the convener of Bring Back Our Girls Movement, Aisha Yesufu, over her advocacy for women’s liberation.
Kuti blasted the activist while recounting how he disagreed with her stance on women’s freedom during a TV show.
Condemning Yesufu for advocating for the liberation of Nigerian women while putting on Hijab, the musician argued that embracing Islamic or Christian practices leads to abandoning African identity.
Seun in a post on his official page said
“It’s the Africanness in us that is helping your European behaviour. That is why Aisha Yesufu and I engaged in an argument on TV, she wan dey talk anyhow, and I told her father off.
“Once you are a Christian or Muslim, you have abandoned Africanness. That one tied hijab saying she wanted to liberate Nigerian women. M**herf**ker liberates yourself from your Hijab first.”
