“Over 100 girlfriends and 27 wives almost pushed him to the brink” – Seun Kuti

Date:

Seun Kuti, the Afrobeat musician and son of the legendary Fela Anikulapo Kuti, recently shared some intriguing insights into his father’s personal life.

While many people are familiar with Fela’s 27 wives, Seun revealed that there were even more women in his father’s life. Over 100 girlfriends also lived with Fela at his Kalakuta residence.

These wives and girlfriends collectively posed a significant challenge for Fela, almost pushing him to the brink with stress.

Speaking on the ‘Bahd & Boujee’ podcast, Kuti said, “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 music and a vocal political activist, passed away on August 2, 1997, at the age of 58.

His legacy continues to resonate in the world of music and beyond
