Afrobeat singer Seun Kuti has opened up about his approach to parenting and what he enjoys doing the most when he’s at home.

In an interview with NotJustOk Originals on YouTube, the singer revealed that his favorite pastime is spending time at home “stressing” his daughter — a playful way of describing how he engages with her to maintain balance in their relationship.

He explained, “Most parents don’t know that why your kids stress you is because you don’t stress them first. Let me give you parenting tips now, these children think that because they are small, they don’t have sense, so they can stress you. ‘You’re just a baby’ quickly reverse it. Be the stress in your child’s life. That’s my most fun thing to do – to just be at home, stress her so she has no time to stress me.”

Seun Kuti added that when he’s not home, performing on stage gives him a similar sense of excitement and control.

“Other than that, I love being on stage. The stage is also like a place I have full control where I’m also stressing a bunch of people. I take it from the house to the stage. So yeah, that’s me – stresser,” he said.

The son of the late Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti is known for his outspoken personality, blending humor and philosophy in his views on life, music, and family.
