“Stop Attaching Your Toxic Masculinity To African Culture, Real Africans Elevate The Feminine Form” – Seun Kuti

Sensational singer, Seun Kuti has implored Africans to stop attaching toxic masculinity to the African culture.

Seun had taken to his Instagram page to explain that the common proverb that a woman’s place is not in the kitchen. He said that the proverb is nowhere equivalent in any African language and that Africans should stop attaching toxic masculinity to the African culture.

He wrote: ” A woman’s place is in the kitchen? Which kitchen? Whose kitchen? Not our ancestors kitchen! This proverb is European without any equivalent in any African language. So before you start attaching your toxic masculinity to African culture ask yourself this, do I know African culture?

As an African what culture practices of African heritage do I engage in? Religion education liberation? If the answer is none, how come u want to suddenly become African to subjugate and oppress your woman? Ain’t no such thing as half way crooks. You are either African or u aren’t , there is no picking and choosing especially when you want to dump ur toxic self on our women. REAL AFRICANS ELEVATE THE FEMININE FORM #getthesax”
