Afrobeat musician Seun Kuti recently shared insights into his privileged upbringing and close relationship with his late father, the renowned Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.

During an appearance on the Zero Conditions podcast, Seun Kuti revealed that his father gave him special treatment compared to his other siblings.

Reflecting on his childhood, Seun described how he was pampered and expressed his belief that he won what he called the “daddy lottery.”

Seun Kuti recounted his father’s deep affection for him, even though his siblings might have a different perspective on Fela’s parenting style.

“Fela Kuti is my favorite person in the world,” Seun said. “If you asked my brothers, they might say he was a terrible dad, but to me, he was an amazing father.”

He elaborated on how this preferential treatment extended into his daily life, noting that he has never had to do laundry, which he attributed to the pampering he received as a child. “I don’t know how to wash anything. I’m not bragging; I’ve just never had to do it,” he explained.

In addition to discussing his upbringing, Seun Kuti touched on his early involvement with his father’s band, Egypt 80. He revealed that he joined the band at the tender age of 8.

Following Fela Kuti’s death, Seun was entrusted with the continuation of the band and allowed to retain all earnings from his performances.

“I have been with Fela’s Egypt 80 band since I was 8 years old,” Seun said. “When Fela passed away, my family asked me to continue with the band and keep all the money I make.”
