Afrobeat musician and son of Fela Kuti, Seun Kuti, has vowed never to buy expensive clothes for his kids again.
In a post to Instagram on Monday, Seun said such clothes go to waste as soon as the kids outgrow them.
He also spoke about placing too much importance on brands of clothes. To him, it is similar to slavery.
He wrote: “I remember this day very vividly. Never buying expensive clothes for my kids. Can’t tell u how much I bought that effing dress she’s wearing. These brands are sucking the life out of black people!!
“The attachment to the ‘brand’ and ‘branding’ still has the same effect as slavery trust me. Gucci gang naaaah more like Gucci’s slave. Well back to my personal rant. Now I asked @chefyeide for it and she says.
“Haba she is four now she can’t fit in it anymore, whaaaaaaat really? For that price, this dress should grow with @adarakuti if that’s not the case GET THE SAX.”
