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 Togo or Ghana. He wrote on Facebook;

First Nigerian artiste to perform in Coachella? I must be from Ghana then or maybe Togo!!
