Femi Kuti, the son of late
afro-beat legend, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, has revealed that three out of his nine
children were adopted. This was revealed in a recent interview by the music
icon himself.
The afro-beat king who is
constantly on a music tour around the world, spoke on his love for his children
and how he balances doing music and fatherhood since he rehearses and performs
for long hours every day. Femi, who will be performing live at the forthcoming
Felabration Music Festival, tagged ‘The Prophecy’, slated for Monday,
October 9 to Sunday, October 15, marking Fela Anikulapo Kuti’s
79th birthday, spoke about the musical influence he has had on his kids.
According to him, “Made, my first son, plays a number of musical instruments
and he is very proud of his instrumental dexterity”, he said. Felabration, a
week-long musical event which attracts thousands of visitors annually from all
over the world to the New Africa Shrine, an official tourist destination of The
Lagos State Government, usually features an exciting lineup of artistes and
this year’s edition will not be an exception.
