Nigerian Grammy-nominated singer Seun Kuti has recounted a harrowing experience after narrowly escaping injury from a stray bullet in the United States.
In a video shared on his Instagram page on Sunday evening, May 4, 2025, Kuti revealed that the bullet had unexpectedly pierced through the window of his hotel room while he was relaxing inside.
Visibly shaken, the Afrobeat musician recounted the near-tragic moment to his followers, expressing shock and disbelief over the incident.
Reflecting on the ordeal, Kuti took a critical stance on America’s global image as a “civilized” society. “Tell me you are in America without telling me you are in America,” he remarked, highlighting the irony of such violence occurring in a country often seen as a symbol of safety and order.
