Afrobeat singer Seun Kuti has lamented that he has been through a tough and emotional week.

The 40-year-old cried out in an Instagram post on Wednesday that people close to him keep dying.

Seun, however, did not mention names of people close to him that passed away. He advised his Instagram followers to be expressive towards those they love because they may not have a chance to do so again. 

In his words: “Na only this machine for show una my belle oooo. Been a tough emotional week. Plenty of highs but people keep dying around me, making me confront my own mortality. Times short, tell people you love them, u don’t know if u will have the chance again.”

Seun’s trial was recently stalled following the absence of Chief Magistrate Adeola Olatunbosun of the Yaba Magistrate’s Court.

Magistrate Olatunbosun was said to have resumed her administrative leave.

Lagos State Police Command arraigned Seun on May 16, 2023. He was charged with assault on a police officer, an offence contrary to Section 356 of the Nigerian Criminal Code Act.

In the absence of the chief Magistrate, the registrar adjourned the case till September 27, 2023.
