Afrobeat singer and activist Seun Kuti has clarified that he is simply against European colonialism, not European people themselves.
On 13th of January, 2025, the singer made the clarification known through a post made on his official page on Instagram.
He posted a picture containing one of his quotes emphasising the need for a fairer world.
The quote read, “I’m against European colonisation and imperialism, but that doesn’t mean I’m against European people. Many Europeans have been our allies in fighting against greed and unfair systems, working to make the world a fairer place for everyone.”

Kuti emphasized that his critique of European colonization and imperialism should not be misinterpreted as hostility toward European people.
“Being against colonization doesn’t mean being against Europeans, many have stood with us in the fight for justice and fairness,” he added in his caption.
In its usual fashion, the post has sparked a flurry of comments and debates on social media, with many engaging in discussions about self-preservation, systemic inequality, and cultural differences.
