One of the sons of legendary Afrobeat creator Seun Kuti has said his father is not the reason for their successes in music
Hear him
“It is not because of our dad that we are successful in music. My brother, Femi Kuti is 60. I am 40. My nephew, Made Kuti, is behind us now too, and he is in his 20s. And he is the best of all of us
“It is not just because we are Fela’s children. I mean, nobody says Fela is a musician because his father was a musician. Nobody knows that Fela’s father was a musician. My grandfather was a musician. He recorded albums, he wrote a lot of hymns. My great-grandfather was the first person in Nigeria to record a song. We came from a lineage of musicians.
“It is what we are. We are creative people. So, when people say we are successful musicians because we are Fela’s children, they are just being half clever.”
