Seun Kuti in a ‘soft jab’ post on Facebook, reacted to claims of Burna Boy being the first Nigerian artist to perform at Coachella.
Seun Kuti who shared a photo of his performance at Coachella in 2012, wondered if those behind the claim think he is a Togolese or Ghanaian.
He wrote on Facebook;
First Nigerian artiste to perform in Coachella? I must be from Ghana then or maybe Togo!!
This is coming after we reported that Damin Ogulu, popularly called Burna Boy, and Tosin Ajibade, popularly called Mr Eazi, are shortlisted to perform live alongside other top international stars at the music festival.
The announcement was contained in a press release on the official website of Coachella. This is the first time the Nigerian duo will be performing live at the music festival. The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is an annual music and arts festival held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, located in the Inland Empire’s Coachella Valley in the Colorado Desert.
Mr Eazi and Burna Boy will be performing alongside other stars such as Ariana Grande, Donald Glover, Kid Cudi, Janelle Monac, Wiz Khalifa, Tame Impala, Bad Bunny, Clairol, Diplo, Childish Gambino and more.
