Nigerian Afrobeat singer Seun Kuti has revealed that one of his greatest joys as a parent is “stressing” his daughter — a habit he describes as both playful and beneficial.

Speaking in an interview with NotJustOk Originals on YouTube, Seun explained that his favorite place to be is at home because that’s where he gets to engage his daughter in playful banter and light-hearted mischief.

“Most parents don’t know that why your kids stress you is because you don’t stress them first,” he said. “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. 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, the youngest son of Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti, noted that his love for “stressing” people extends to his professional life.

“When I’m not at home, performing on stage gives me the same sense of control and fun. The stage is also a place where 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 added with a laugh.

The singer’s humorous take on parenting has since sparked reactions online, with fans praising his candid and relatable perspective on fatherhood.
