Why my first daughter and I are not close – Seun Kuti

81

Well-known artist from Nigeria, Seun Kuti, has explained why he doesn’t get along with his first daughter.

The musician revealed this information when talking about his experience becoming a father.

In a widely shared video clip from his conversation with well-known media personality Timi Agbaje, Seun revealed that he was previously married to another woman named Yetunde.

Although he said that being a parent was one of his greatest accomplishments, he acknowledged that he did not have a close relationship with his first kid because of her mother.

“The greatest thing I ever achieved is becoming a father, I have two kids but I’m not really close to my other daughter but to have the joy of that is my greatest achievement.

“It’s complicated circumstances. No family is perfect, but I’m not close to the mother of my first daughter.

“I wasn’t married when I had my first daughter. Interestingly, I only had premarital sex twice before my first daughter was born.”

In a different story, Seun Kuti claimed that his father, Fela Kuti, was falsely accused of armed robbery during the military dictatorship of Muhammadu Buhari by the late MKO Abiola and his wife, Simbiat.

Seun Kuti said that the plot was part of a scheme to have Fela put to death in accordance with the severe anti-armed robbery legislation of the dictatorship.

Seun Kuti described how the Abiolas concocted a tale, saying that Simbiat’s Ferrari was taken at gunpoint by Fela and his cronies.

At the time of this accusation, Tunde Idiagbon, Buhari’s deputy head of state, was implementing stringent legislation that declared armed robbery a capital crime with a death sentence.
