Seun is not only insanely talented as a musician, but an awaken mind as well when it comes to what's going on lately. PEACE!

[@jonkeedatacollection]

Seun you are the true son of your father, lion do not give birth to a goat, i love your courage and fearlessness, long live ezi nwa nnayi Fela, love from Sweden

[@georgeegba6990]

The black journey is a mystery With the black version of the journey. Great creativity in these lines.

[@meredithdevoe2266]

I want to thank you for keeping it real. When I saw you live you did not rest on past glory or lip-synch like the other Nigerian artists did, but you were fully there, engaged in making music with your band. Level pass level

[@demola-obasankayode9986]

Why Lip-synch a song you were part of while growing up, Seun is the son of baba Fela himself

[@felixatsenogwa5745]

The spirit of Fela lives on!!!!🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@RayyanKesnan]

He is such a great speaker on political (human) issues and a killer musician. His father was as well obviously. I just learned that his grandmother was also a revolutionary! Really special.

[@EyeTunz]

The most talented and important musical family in modern history.
