Femi Kuti has Epic Responses to Neighbours who Expect Him to Fix Problems
Femi Kuti‘s Lagos neighbours have been dragging him on Twitter, expecting him to fix electricity issues. He has replied, telling them to be channel their frustrations to the people they voted into office, and hold them accountable, and to stop expecting him or anyone else to speak up for them.
One of the neighbours even brought up his father’s name, Fela, saying he would not have allowed this to happen.
Meanwhile, Femi is in Paris, rounding up recording his upcoming album.
Here are some tweets:
@Femiakuti and today, you decided to port to the next transformer instead of putting heads together with the Landlords to find a solution
