Maverick musician Seun Kuti has stirred fresh debate with claims about the personal life of his father, the late Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.
Speaking during a recent Instagram livestream, Seun alleged that Fela allowed his wives to have relationships with other men, a decision he described as one of the icon’s major mistakes.
According to him, this arrangement may have contributed to how the music legend contracted HIV, contrary to widespread assumptions that Fela infected his partners.
He said, “Fela made many mistakes. One of the mistakes he made -one day, I saw a video of a lady online saying why are people praising Fela’s legacy despite him giving women HIV and dying of AIDS.
