Seun Kuti

Afrobeats star, Seun Kuti has opined that no man would request a DNA test if his wife is more financially stable than him.

According to him, requesting DNA is not only about trust but also a power issue.

Kuti joined the discussion on the DNA test controversy circulating on Nigeria’s social media platforms.

Nigerians are at odds over the importance of DNA tests, particularly with the prevalence of paternity fraud cases in recent times.

In a video message, Kuti highlighted that the emphasis on DNA tests stems primarily from trust and power dynamics within relationships.

He argued that although the immediate purpose of DNA testing might be to confirm paternity, the deeper motivations typically stem from underlying relational dynamics.

He said, “There is no way that doing DNA test is not about trust. Doing DNA test is a trust issue 100 per cent! It’s not only a trust issue, it’s also a power issue. No man would request for a DNA test if their partners are richer than them.”
