‘We have been lied to’ – Seun Kuti reacts to Forbes billionaire list

Afrobeat singer, Seun Kuti has expressed his doubt about the 2024 billionaire list recently released by American magazine, Forbes.

According to Forbes, France’s fashion mogul, Bernard Arnault ($233 Billion), and American businessmen; Elon Musk ($195 Billion), Jeff Bezos ($194 Billion), Mark Zuckerberg ($177 Billion), and Larry Ellison ($141 Billion) are the world’s 5 richest men.

The breakdown showed that the world’s 5 richest men have increased their wealth to a combined total of $869 billion since the COVID-19 lockdown.

However, reacting, Kuti insisted that the list was fake, arguing that “no one can work that hard.”

Speaking via his social media page, he said: “The world’s 5 richest men since lockdown, have increased their wealth to a combined total of 869bn US dollars.

“That means they can spend 1 million dollars a day for the next 476 years. No one can work that hard. We have been lied to.”
