Seun Kuti recently shared a revelation about a challenging period in his life when his career faced near destruction following a viral altercation with the Nigerian police. The incident not only posed a threat to his career but also resulted in his arrest.

The unfortunate chain of events unfolded after an encounter with the Nigerian police, during which Seun Kuti found himself involved in a heated argument while trying to protect himself and his family. The situation escalated to the point where he ended up slapping a police officer in the face, perceiving it as an act of self-defense.

However, the consequences that followed were far-reaching and unforeseen. Instead of receiving support and sympathy from the public, netizens and Nigerians surprisingly defended the actions of the police officers involved in the altercation.

Seun Kuti was subsequently arrested in his own home, and he faced a prolonged struggle to overcome the challenges that arose from the incident.

During a live video, Seun Kuti candidly revealed the extent of the crisis he endured during that period. He expressed that he had come dangerously close to losing his career as a result of the incident.
