Afrobeat musician, Seun Kuti has got people talking for firing a gun at some guests at a party at Allen Avenue on Saturday.
The musician is now explaining why he had to fire a gun. He said it was because his life was under threat.
Seun, who is the son of the late Afrobeat legend, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, said this while reacting to allegations that he fired gunshots at some party guests on Saturday.
Seun giving his own side of the story said the party guests parked their vehicles indiscriminately on the street and played loud music without regard for residents. The musician said one of the guests parked a vehicle in front of his house and blocked the entrance to his gate.
Seun said he slapped the person and this attracted the attention of the bouncers at the party but things soon simmered down. He said moments after, as he tried to drive away, a bouncer came to attack him and this degenerated to fisticuffs and gunshots.
He said if the Federal Government attempts to arrest him without a warrant, there would be similar gunshots.
The musician added, “He (bouncer) said he would treat my ‘f**k up. That was when the fight started and we didn’t need to pull guns on anybody because we beat them with our bare hands. Blood on their noses, tore their uniforms. They left our street naked.
“Yes there were gunshots because we have men. This is Allen. I didn’t come to your hood. You want to try rubbish in my hood. You threatened my life in my hood and don’t expect gunshots. Even if the Federal Government comes for me, if they don’t come with a warrant signed by a judge, it will be a shootout. I am saying this for the whole world to hear.
“I never oppressed anybody. They were the ones that threatened my life and blocked my gate. What kind of behaviour is that because you are throwing a party and you don’t even live here,” he said.
