Afrobeat musician Seun Kuti has reacted to allegations of assault and pulling out a gun at unarmed citizens in Ikeja, Lagos state, stating that 'We Beat Them Up With Bare Hands'.

Oluseun Anikulapo Kuti commonly known as Seun Kuti is a Nigerian musician, singer, and the youngest son of legendary afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti. Seun leads his father's former band Egypt 80.

AllNews understands that there were reports over the weekend that Seun had threatened some persons on his street located at Allen Avenue with a gun and beat them up.

Narrating the incident, he said a bouncer at the party taking place on his street had threatened his life and he had to react to that by beating up the bouncers.

“I don’t make new friends, I don’t go for events because I don’t vibe with the conversation and stay away from everything in my little lane but people keep testing and trying me.

“What happened yesterday, one woman came to invest in our street and built a hotel, they held a party and cars blocked the streets and the entrance of my house.

“Selfish people, they did not notify me and started a party at 9 am with loud music, I tried to sleep by force with the noise but couldn’t and the party went on till 7 pm.

“I decided to leave my house, time to leave I could not come out of my gate because cars from party goers blocked the entrance. I tried to get their attention and nobody answered for 20 minutes.

“One man that parked came to his car and was arguing with me so I slapped him, later as I was leaving another car blocked the street after it ran out of fuel while waiting in my car one of the bouncers from the hotel came to meet me and threatened my life.

“He said he would come to the shrine and treat my f….k up that’s when the fight started, we beat them up with bare hands. There were gunshots because you cannot threaten me in my hood.

“If the government likes they should come and arrest me but no one should come to my house without an arrest warrant from the court. Nobody can victimize me, it's either you beat me and I will go down fighting.

“What if somebody was dying and wanted to move out of the house/street immediately? We can’t leave our homes because some people want to make money for themselves and have no regard for humans. If you cannot think communally and put fellow human beings into consideration when taking action then, you’ll bear the consequences.”
