In a bombshell revelation that has sent shockwaves through social media, controversial Nigerian musician Seun Kuti has publicly dismissed monogamy, declaring it "doesn't work" and urging men to adopt polygamy.

The Afrobeat sensation made these startling comments on the ‘Bahd & Boujee’ podcast, where he asserted that having multiple women is a testament to a man's power and affluence.

"Monogamy doesn’t work. As a powerful man, you must have the support of numerous powerful goddesses," Seun proclaimed, stirring a heated debate. "You know, women that are in your life because the ancestors want to put them there. You share with them."

Seun Kuti, following in the footsteps of his legendary father, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, who was notorious for his polygamous lifestyle, emphasized that his father's choice to marry 27 women in one day and maintain over 100 concubines was a demonstration of power and tradition.

Despite his bold stance, Seun Kuti himself is publicly known to be married to one woman, Yetunde Kuti, adding a layer of irony and fueling further controversy over his remarks.

The musician's comments have ignited a firestorm on social media, with reactions ranging from outrage to support. Critics argue that Seun's advocacy for polygamy is regressive and disrespectful to women, while supporters claim it is a cultural tradition misunderstood by modern society.
