My Father Warned me Not To Marry But I Ignored…Femi Kuti

It seems the Kuti's family does not support marriage as it seems not to be working out for them. First Seun Kuti, kicked against marriage some weeks back and now the late Afro-beat legend, Fela Anikulapo Kuti's heir, Femi Kuti, is also standing on the same premise which is not supporting marriage.

Femi who was once married to Funke, after he neglected his father's advice not to settle down, stated that he has never believed in marriage but got married then due to some reasons then.

As he puts it, “I never believed in marriage. I loved my wife, and got carried away. I am happy about the experience. We got married for a number of reasons; she left home, and many people said she had made the greatest mistake of her life; she got pregnant; and for us to have a certain status for our child; documentation and so on. There were so many reasons to get married.”

The Afro-beat singer further disclosed that though things may have not worked out well for him and his wife Funke, but they are now best of friends.

“Now we are great friends, but probably if we had not gotten married, we probably would have still been together,” he told Nation newspaper.
