“I’m only artist who stops people from spraying me” – Seun Kuti

Seun Kuti, a prominent Afrobeat artist, has made the assertion that he is the sole musician in Nigeria who discourages audiences from showering him with currency bills during his performances.

He said:

“I don’t even like to be sprayed. I’m the only artist that stops people from spraying me. Even my dad, the legendary Fela didn’t prevent people from spraying him but he demanded the denominations he wanted to be sprayed.

“Nobody wey Sunny Ade never sing for so he can be sprayed. Everybody name. KWAM 1 … eh eh. It is the politicians that made spraying a standard behaviour.”
