In a passionate statement, Seun Kuti defended activist VeryDarkMan, highlighting his crucial role in society.
"Imagine if others had his fame; they’d just monetize it," Kuti said, questioning how anyone could criticize someone so dedicated to helping the vulnerable.
Kuti emphasized VeryDarkMan's selflessness, contrasting him with billionaires who often exploit the poor. "No billionaire cares about the poor; they want to use them," he asserted. Responding to public pressure from Paulo to take sides, Kuti called it disrespectful. "Even if he feeds me, he will never order me around," he declared.
Kuti likened VeryDarkMan to a modern savior, noting that even Christ had critics. "Show me one person who doesn’t make mistakes," he challenged. He urged for more figures like VeryDarkMan, suggesting that having more such advocates could truly change society, acknowledging that while VeryDarkMan may be outspoken, his positive impact far outweighs any criticism.
