In a video circulating online, the Afrobeats singer used the story of the late American superstar Michael Jackson to drive home his point.
He reminded fans that Michael Jackson, widely regarded as one of the greatest musical geniuses, was the seventh child in his family.
According to him, the world might never have known the King of Pop if his parents had decided to stop at fewer children.
“I have been wondering – what if Michael Jackson’s mother had stopped at two or six kids? He was the seventh. Imagine a world without him just because she chose fewer children. Now many people are having just one child. It is very rare to find a young couple with three kids these days.”
The singer lamented that modern couples are increasingly limiting themselves to one or two children, a trend he believes is reducing the possibility of birthing more gifted individuals.
He acknowledged that economic challenges play a role in this decision, but still appealed to couples to rethink.
Many Nigerians expressed mixed feelings about the singer’s message, with some questioning the practicality of his advice.
