Korede Bello calls on couples to have more children to “bring forth new geniuses.”

The Nigerian singer Korede Bello sparked a lot of reactions after encouraging couples to have more children, believing that this would increase the chances of seeing new artistic geniuses emerge. In a video widely shared on social media, the artist cited Michael Jackson as an example to illustrate his point. He recalled that the pop legend was the seventh child in his family, suggesting that the world could have been deprived of his talent if his parents had chosen to have fewer children.

According to Korede Bello, family patterns have evolved deeply in recent years, with couples now favoring smaller families. “ I often wondered what would have happened if Michael Jackson’s mother had stopped at two or six children. He was the seventh,” he said. “ Imagine a world without him simply because his parents had decided to have fewer children. Today, many couples have only one child. It has even become rare to see young families with three children. “
