Seun Kuti, the provocative Afrobeat musician and son of the legendary Fela Kuti, recently stirred up controversy with his bold claim that women are more unfaithful in relationships and marriages than men. This statement challenges the commonly held belief that men are the primary perpetrators of infidelity.
During an appearance on the ‘Bahd & Boujee’ Podcast hosted by reality star Tolanibaj and actress Moet Abebe, Kuti expressed his views on the topic. He dismissed the notion that men cheat more than women as mere propaganda perpetuated by society. According to Kuti, women are actually more prone to infidelity, and this reality is often overlooked or downplayed.
He supported his argument by referencing biblical stories, such as the tale of Joseph and his master’s wife, who attempted to seduce Joseph. Kuti pointed out that while this story portrays a woman attempting to cheat on her husband, there are few instances in the Bible where men are depicted as unfaithful.
Kuti’s assertion was met with skepticism from the podcast hosts, who disagreed with his perspective. However, he remained steadfast in his belief, emphasizing that both men and women are equally capable of being unfaithful in relationships. He warned men against assuming they are the only ones being faithful, suggesting that they should be vigilant and not naive about their partner’s behavior.
By urging people to acknowledge the potential for infidelity in both genders, Kuti challenges traditional gender stereotypes and prompts a reevaluation of societal perceptions regarding cheating in relationships. His remarks have sparked debate and discussion, highlighting the complexity of human relationships and the need for open dialogue on issues of trust and fidelity.
