“Shame, shame shame” Seun Kuti was Embarassed by the Ooni of Ife singing that Jesus is His Father | WATCH

During the Ooni of Ife and his Olori’s U.S. tour, Oba Ogunwusi made headlines when he sang Jesus is his father at a church – click here if you missed it.

Musician Seun Kuti has come out to say he was disappointed by the statement in a recent interview with SaharaTV.

Here’s an excerpt from the interview via Kemi Filani, or you can watch the interview below –

It’s just a shame. It’s just like saying that the Queen of England says the Pope is her father. If she says she no longer believes in the Anglican church of England and Archbishop of Canterbury and she swears allegiance to the Pope, a fellow christian but a catholic, she is leaving that throne that day. So for the Ooni to say he is the son of Jesus is cap over face, Shame! Shame! Shame!….

Especially after all the rituals he has done to become king of Yoruba people. It is literal when they say to become King in Yoruba land you have to eat the king. So after a man is eaten the king, the king that has just passed…

Yes he is the king of everybody, Christians and Muslims alike. British people are Muslims too, Ifa worshipers too but it doesn’t mean the Queen will pander to them by going to worship with them. No, but she respects their rights to free religion and accommodate them and protect them as the King, that is your duty but to go and start pandering with them is an embarrassment to a throne that is older than him, to a throne that is older than his lineage, to a throne that is older than anything that he thinks he knows.

There is another king like him, I have forgotten his name, one little young idiot that goes around saying it is the rituals that our ancestors have done that is why people are suffering so his throne is now Christian, he is a Christian king. I mean it is just nonsense. If the Ooni can say that, I can see how one little stupid boy that they also gave a crown too can say the same rubbish.”
