Nigerian musician Seun Kuti jokingly shared that the most difficult aspect of his marriage is managing his wife’s allowance, implying that she has a strong sense of financial independence and a clear idea of how she wants to spend her money.
In a recent interview on Pulse Fun Facts,Seun kuti and his wife yetunde engaged in a question-and-answer session, discussing their marriage and relationship, where Afeez made some revealing comments about their union, offering insights into their romantic journey together.
He was asked by yetunde;
“What is the most challenging thing you have endured in our relationship?”
Seun Kuti playfully complained that his wife’s monthly allowance is quite hefty, and he often struggles to gather the funds to meet her financial demands, poking fun at the challenge of keeping up with her spending habits.
“Her allowance is very high—seven figures every month,” he said in between laughter. “I’m not joking; her allowance is very high and she has a high taste. That’s challenging because I have to work for the money and it’s not easy. It’s very, very high. I don’t know how we negotiated it; I must have been under duress during negotiations.”
Yetunde asked if he had any regrets since they got married, Seun Kuti replied that he doesn’t believe in regrets, implying that he accepts and embraces their journey together, and has made peace with all the decisions and experiences they’ve shared as a couple.
He replied, “I don’t do regrets; I don’t regret anything in my life so I cannot regret anything in our marriage. I don’t do regrets; regret is for the weak.”
The singer went ahead to ask Yetunde about things she was grateful for in their marriage and she said, “I’m grateful for him, grateful for our daughter; what else?”
“What about the sex?” Seun added.
I’m grateful for the sex as well; I almost forgot that part because I didn’t know that we were supposed to talk about that here,” Yetunde responded, laughing.
When asked what aspect of their marriage he would change if he could, Seun Kuti humorously replied that he would request the ancestors to grant his wife Yetunde a few extra inches of height, poking fun at her petite stature in a lighthearted and playful way.
Seun said, “I would ask the ancestors to give her more height; the Lord should help her and help me raise her up a bit. Our daughter is almost taller than her and she’s only ten years old. That’s the only thing I think they should change. And oh, her mouth!”.
