Afrobeat musician Seun Kuti is igniting a firestorm on social media with his blistering critique of DJ Khaled’s silence on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

In a fiery video message, Kuti accuses the Palestinian-American DJ Khaled of turning a blind eye to the plight of his own people. Kuti sharply contrasts DJ Khaled’s usual social media persona, where he flaunts his opulent lifestyle, with his apparent apathy towards the human cost of the conflict, particularly the deaths of Palestinian women and children.

This scathing rebuke comes as tensions escalate in the region. Kuti’s message throws a spotlight on the immense influence celebrities wield in raising awareness about critical global issues. His commentary has sparked a heated online debate, with some applauding him for holding celebrities accountable for their silence on important matters.

Others criticize him for injecting himself into the complex Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Regardless of where one stands on the issue, Kuti’s message has undeniably reignited global conversation about the conflict and its devastating human cost. This renewed focus could potentially pressure those in power to seek a peaceful resolution.
