Seun Kuti Speaks on Controversial Claims About Fela’s HIV Story
Afrobeat singer Seun Kuti reveals that his late father Fela Kuti got HIV from one of his wives.
It can be noted that there are claims that it was Fela that gave the disease to one of the wives. However, his son, Seun, addresses the claims and stated it was the other way round.
“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.”

Nigerian singer Speed Darlington speaks with regret as he reflects on his life. He shared that he is disappointed in himself for still being single at his age and not having any children.
The singer said “Up till now, I’m not married and I don’t have any children. All I have to show is an American passport. I want more than American papers—I want a family and respect.”
Nigerian singer Tems reacts to comments linking her with Nigerian goalkeeper Maduka Okoye.
During a recent interview, the singer spoke about the African music movement.
