His defiance stance may be why he is loved outside the country
The video from Seun's performance in Finland caught many Nigerians surprised by the loved he received.
In a conversation with Legit.ng's Olumide Alake, Samurai Noetic, a music enthusiast on Twitter, gave possible reasons behind it.
He said:
"To be honest, I don't have a true answer for you on why Seun has been having such collaboration outside of Nigeria. Mine would purely be speculation. First, as big as he might seem outside of Nigeria, there are bigger Nigerian stars to the rest of the world than Seun is.
A lot of people under 30 in the world are unlikely to have heard of Seun. It's almost odd that Burna Boy is know more out here for sampling of Fela music than Fela's own children or grand child, Made Kuti On Seun, my guess is that he is younger than Femi and possibly relatable to those that he has been collaborating with.
Not to mention that he has that anti-establishment defiance stance that his dad carried and is now loved for outside of Nigeria. Standing up against governments takes lots of courage and in a world where more people need to stand against governments, Seun is seen as that beacon in the absence of Fela."
