“I Needed My Own Identity” — Femi Kuti Reflects on Life Outside His Father’s Shadow
Nigerian singer, Femi Kuti, reveals his reasons for leaving his father, Fela Kuti’s, band. During a recent interview, the singer revealed that he left the band to find his own identity. He explained that he was often asked if he was going to be a singer like his dad.
“The moment I formed my band, his fan base descended on me. It was very difficult to find a good write-up about me then because the press hated me, and at that time, there was no internet for me to defend myself.
“Being under my father, I didn’t have any possibility of my own life, including having children. I saw my life in his life.”
VeryDarkMan shares that he was warned by Burna Boy once that the Nigerians he fights for will one day turn on him.
He shared “Burna Boy warned me, he said the Nigerians I’m fighting for will backstab me. They’ll put knife in your neck if they have the opportunity.”
“Fighting for Nigerians is tiring. Same Nigerians that tried to cancel Burna of their own because of what happened in his UK show. Una international star. Just because him tell one person make him Comot from him show, Una join them everybody wan cancel am.”
