Seun Kuti thinks prayer is a childish scam. The Afrobeat star stated plainly in an Instagram video that he has never prayed, calling the act pointless eye service. He argued that a person's life and actions are their only real prayer, not words spoken to a god. Kuti dismissed the common concept of a predetermined divine will, saying that it makes prayer meaningless unless it aligns with a plan already set in stone. He claimed clerics hide this fact to exploit people.
He framed problem-solving as a practical matter. If prayer actually worked, he reasoned, places like prisons and hospitals would be empty. He insisted he tackles his issues directly instead of praying over them. His comments challenge a core ritual for many, positioning faith as a barrier to personal responsibility and action. The musician's blunt perspective continues his family's legacy of confrontational social commentary.
