According to him, he could not sleep for a week after Davido snubbed him for his wedding invitees.

“There were rumors back then that Samuel Doe’s money caused a fight between IBB and Abiola, this made the former Head of State refuse to give him the presidency.”

Seun Kuti also disclosed that Dele Giwa was killed because he was planning to expose a wealthy Nigerian drug dealer.

“What killed Dele Giwa then? How many musicians, actors have been caught over their connection to hard drugs before the advent of Yahoo? Many people in this country are compromised in this drug dealing business.”
