Afrobeats artiste, Seun Kuti has reacted to allegations that he assaults his wife verbally and physically.
There had been speculations that Kuti’s wife may be a victim of domestic violence after her husband was heard screaming at her during his altercation with a police officer in a viral video.
Reacting during his recent Instagram live session with fans, Kuti said that his wife is not scared of him, rather he is the one who is scared of her.
He said those who are acquitted with his family could testify of that.
The singer said: “The most important rumour I must dispel, is the one they said that I’m beating my wife. They said I screamed at her to get into the car [in the viral video] and she went into the car…That she is scared of me. My wife is not scared of me. Trust me, if you know anybody that knows us, I’m the one that’s scared of my wife. But my wife respects me.
“And I know that many of you Nigerian men were just jealous to see a man that can talk to his wife and his wife would listen. That’s the problem. It’s jealousy”.
He added that he has never even hit his nine-year-old daughter before.
Kuti is facing charges of assaulting a police officer during an altercation on Saturday, 13th May on the Third Mainland Bridge, in Lagos.
