Grammy-nominated singer Seun Kuti has said his musical success isnโ€™t tied to being the son of late Afrobeat pioneer, Fela Kuti.

He said he and his elder brother, Femi Kuti, and nephew, Made Kuti, have had successful music careers because of their โ€œdeliberate effortsโ€ and โ€œdedicationโ€.

The controversial singer said Felaโ€™s father, Reverend Israel Ransome-Kuti, was also a musician but people never credited his musical achievements to his father.

Speaking in a recent interview with actress Iyabo Ojo, Kuti said, โ€œIt is not because of our dad that we are successful in music. My brother, Femi Kuti is 60. I am 40. My nephew, Made Kute is behind us now too, and he is in his 20s. And he is actually the best of all of us. Thatโ€™s what it means; it continues to progress because we are really dedicated to it.

โ€œItโ€™s not just because we are Felaโ€™s children. I mean, nobody says Fela is a musician because his father was a musician. Nobody knows that Felaโ€™s father was a musician. My grandfather was a musician. He recorded albums, he wrote a lot of hymns. My great grandfather was the first person in Nigeria to record a song. We came from a lineage of musicians.

โ€œWe even have a brother that grew up in Australia that didnโ€™t grow up with the family, he didnโ€™t even know that he was a Kuti until his 50s, heโ€™s not a musician but he is a creative art director. Itโ€™s what we are. We are creative people. So, when people say we are successful musicians because we are Felaโ€™s children, they are just being half clever.โ€
