Afrobeat musician Seun Kuti has shared insights into the personal challenges his father, the legendary Fela Anikulapo Kuti, faced due to his numerous romantic relationships.
Naija News reports that Seun Kuti, while on the Bahd & Boujee’ podcast, disclosed that Fela’s famous 27 wives were not the only ones who lived with him at his Kalakuta residence.
The musician also had over 100 girlfriends. Seun remarked,
“People only know of Fela’s 27 wives, they don’t know of his over 100 girlfriends that lived with us in the house. The wives and girlfriends almost killed Fela with stress.”
Fela Kuti, an icon of Afrobeat and a vocal political activist, passed away on August 2, 1997, at the age of 58.
