“How Fela inspired white women into donning African outfits” – Seun Kuti shares

Seun Kuti, the offspring of the renowned Afrobeat icon Fela Kuti, has shared insights into the influence his father had on the white women in his vicinity.

During an Instagram live session, Seun disclosed that Fela frequently welcomed white women into their home, alongside his Nigerian friends.

He emphasized that Fela remained true to himself and did not alter his identity for the white women; instead, it was they who transformed as a result of his presence.

“My father had white women in his house. When I grew up, there were like two white women at least living with us. He always had white ones with the black ones.

“Instead of Fela to wear a suit and tie so that the white women would see him as fine, the women were the ones who started wearing shrine regalia and African hairstyles.

“Fela never changed because of them but they changed because of him because Fela already knew who he was and his love for Africa,” Seun Kuti shared.
