Seun Kuti Shares Insight on Fela's Numerous Partners According to Kuti, while many are aware of Fela’s 27 wives, few know about the over 100 concubines who resided with him. |
Afrobeat artist Seun Kuti has shared that his father, Afrobeats icon Fela Anikulapo Kuti, had more than 100 concubines.
According to Kuti, while many are aware of Fela’s 27 wives, few know about the over 100 concubines who resided with him.
This revelation came during the most recent 'Bahd & Boujee' Podcast episode, co-hosted by reality star Tolanibaj and actress Moet Abebe.
"People are familiar with Fela’s 27 wives, but they overlook his over 100 girlfriends who also lived with us," he stated.
It's noteworthy that Seun Kuti had previously disclosed that Fela married 27 women simultaneously in 1978, a bold step to protect their reputation against media claims that labeled his female dancers and band members as "prostitutes".
