Exclusive Revelation: Seun Kuti Opens Up About His Overlooked Invitation to Davido’s Wedding
In a recent appearance on the podcast “Curiosity Made Me Ask,” Nigerian singer Seun Kuti has shared his candid thoughts on being excluded from Afrobeats icon Davido’s wedding to Chioma, which took place on June 25, 2024. According to Kuti, he was left feeling desperately disappointed and pained after being left off the guest list.
For years, Davido and his entourage would regularly visit Kuti’s family bar, where they would enjoy free drinks without ever having to pay a dime. However, when it came time for the megastar’s own wedding, Kuti revealed that he was left in the dark, unable to grasp why he wasn’t extended an invitation.
“I couldn’t sleep for a week after that,” Kuti shared, his voice laced with a mix of frustration and sadness. “Davido would come to the African Shrine with 100 guys, and he would drink without paying, but when it was time for his wedding, I didn’t get IV. I was pained, I didn’t sleep for one week.”
Kuti’s candid confession offers a unique glimpse into the inner workings of the music industry, where relationships can be fleeting and invitations to high-profile events can be just as elusive. As one of Nigeria’s most promising young singers, Kuti’s story serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of prioritizing genuine connections in an often cutthroat environment.
The singer’s emotional revelation has sent shockwaves through social media, with fans and fellow entertainers alike expressing their support and sympathy for his feelings. As the music world continues to evolve, Kuti’s open and honest approach to discussing the highs and lows of his career may prove to be a beacon of inspiration for up-and-coming artists looking to navigate the complex world of show business.
