“Fela Did Not Keep His Women To Himself” - Seun Kuti Makes Revelation About Late Father

Controversial Nigerian singer Seun Kuti, has made a surprising revelation about his late father, Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, and how he handled his numerous wives.

Speaking in a recent video broadcast, Seun admitted that his late father was far from perfect, however, he made sure to give his wives the freewill to move with other men.

He further claimed that the freedom Fela gave his wives made them contract HIV, which was eventually passed on to him, leading to his death.

“Fela made many mistakes. One of the mistakes he made -one day, I saw a video of a lady online saying why are people praising Fela’s legacy despite him giving women HIV and dying of AIDS.

“I said, ‘Oh, Fela you see yourself?’ If Fela was a traditional man, he would still be alive. I will tell you something about him that you might not have known, Fela’s women all had other men.

“Fela did not keep his women to himself. He believed that as he is free to sleep with all the women, the women are also free to meet other men. His law was that they shouldn’t bring the men to his house.

“My father doesn’t leave his house to sleep with other women outside, so it was his women who brought HIV home to him. Nobody is perfect. Everybody make mistakes. But Fela is a man that is on the side of humanity.”
