Afrobeat singer Seun Kuti has lambasted American music star DJ Khaled over his silence on the Israeli genocide in Gaza which has led to the death of over 32,000 Palestinians, majority children and women.
Since the beginning of the war in October 7, 2023, a number of celebrities, influencers from Angelina Jolie to Selena Gomez and Jennifer Lopez, among others, have publicly pledged their support and spoken out in support of Palestinians, calling for an end to Israel’s senseless killings in Gaza.
Kuti, however, said despite being originally from Palestine, the ‘We De Best Music’ boss is silent over the killing of his people in the hands of the Zionist forces.
He said DJ Khaled flaunts his luxurious lifestyle on social media but cannot use his influence to speak against the genocide against Palestinian women and children.
Speaking in a video message shared via his Instagram account, Kuti said, “DJ Khaled is from Palestine. This man has not said one word about the killing of his people. But let one trainers or wristwatch come out, he would post that he has acquired it to prove that he is the greatest man. But he cannot speak against the killing of women and children in his home country.”
