‘Grammy nominee living in the trenches’ – Peter Okoye, Seun Kuti continue online scuffle

SINGERS Seun Kuti and Peter Okoy have continued to trade words on social media over choice of presidential candidate.

The issue started when Seun Kuti said he believes that no politician can save Nigeria except for Nigerians themselves.

Seun who is Fela Kuti’s son insisted that even if Sowore wins the election, he cannot make any effective change in a country with PDP and APC-controlled states.

He went on to say that Peter Obi is an opportunist who switched to the Labour Party after losing the PDP primaries.

The comment struck a nerve with Okoye, who has been an avid supporter of the Obi movement.

Reacting to this Peter Okoye wrote: “Dude just erased his father’s history. You said only the propel of Nigeria can save Nigeria. Is PO and the rest candidates not Nigerian people? Shame! Shame! Shame!!!”

Reacting further, Okoye has taken another swipe at the afrobeats singer, saying he is has nothing without the Kuti surname.

He also insulted Kuti’s music career, calling him a Grammy nominee who is still living in the trenches.

Recall that Kuti has been nominated for the prestigious award severally and never won.
