Afrobeats musician, Seun Kuti has said that his late father, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, was a wonderful father to him.
Kuti disclosed that he was pampered as a child.
He stated this during an appearance on the Zero Conditions podcast.
He recalled how his father gave him preferential treatment amongst his other siblings.
The singer said he was his dad’s favourite, stressing that he was an amazing father to him even though his siblings might say he’s “a terrible dad.”
The singer boasted that because of how he was pampered from childhood, he has never done laundry in his life.
He said, “I won the daddy lottery. Fela Kuti is my favourite person in the world. If you asked my brothers they could say he’s a terrible dad but to me, he was an amazing father.
“You don’t know how spoilt I was growing up. Till now, I have never done laundry in my life. I don’t know how to wash anything. I’m not bragging.”
He also revealed that he joined his late dad’s band, Egypt 80, at the age of 8.
“I have been with Fela’s Egypt 80 band since I was 8 years old. So when Fela died my family asked me to continue with the band & keep all the money I make,” he said.
