Seun Kuti recently disclosed a time in his life when, as a result of his widely publicized conflict with the Nigerian police, his career was on the verge of being destroyed. His career was put in jeopardy by the incident, which also resulted in his arrest.
An unfortunate run-in with the Nigerian police served as the spark for the entire situation. Seun Kuti found himself slapping a police officer across the face after an argument got out of hand and he felt the need to defend himself and his family.
But what he might have thought was an act of self-defense ended up having far-reaching effects that he could never have predicted.
Surprisingly, Netizens and Nigerians defended the behavior of the police officers engaged in the altercation instead of offering their support and sympathies.
Seun Kuti struggled for days and weeks to find a way out the situation after being arrested in his own home.
Seun Kuti detailed the severity of the crises he experienced during this time in a live video. He revealed that he had been dangerously near to having the incident end his career.
