Afro Musician, Seun Kuti has reacted to allegations that he pulled a gun at a man during a confrotation with partygoers who blocked the entrance of his home on Saturday on Akin Osinyemi Street, off Allen Avenue, Ikeja, Lagos.
A journalist, identified as Temitayo Ayetoto made the subject matter popular following her Twitter thread on the incident.
Seun’s reaction:
The allegation:
“It was abt 7pm when I decided to stroll out of the Lagos Facebook Hangout party held at 16, Akin Osinyemi Street, off Allen Ave, Ikeja. Outside the building where I stood, I couldn’t help but shift attention to the man in an armless top & slightly over the knee trouser, raging.
“He was mad that the party attendees littered the street where he obviously lives with their cars – a genuine concern (his gate was affected). There was a resident stranded in his car trying to access his compound but couldn’t.
“Kuti’s fury leaped & began to ridicule the guy who block the access. Whether the guy knew or not that it was Kuti, he screamed back, asking him to take things easy before he leaves,” she wrote.
Ayetoto added that Seun and three others who were with him attacked the man and forced him to move his car.
“Kuti continued to rage at other car owners until one of the organisers, MM, showed up. In the middle of the effort to pacify, one of the bouncers told Kuti to calm down…Next thing again, Kuti’s thugs rushed at the bouncer for such effontery. That’s where the party scattered.
“This time around Kuti went into his compound and brought out a SHORT BLACK GUN! He was attempting to cork it but paused again… I called my friend that we needed to leave immediately,” she wrote.
