Grammy-nominated musician Seun Kuti has disclosed that growing up, he experienced stigmatization due to his relationship with Fela Kuti. In a recent interview, Seun Kuti discussed how his paternity had an impact on his relationship with actress Iyabo Ojo stressing that he couldn’t go to his girlfriend’s father’s house. He claimed that because his late father did nothing to merit it, the stigmatization was abhorrent. Kuti said, “Growing up, I was stigmatized for being Fela’s son. I couldn’t even enter my girlfriend’s father’s house. Even on the street, people would always point at me and say, ‘See Fela pikin.’ It was annoying because my father didn’t do anything.

We need to check ourselves.” He also disclosed during the interview that he joined his late father’s band, Egypt 80, at the age of 8.
Sharing a new update with the public through an interview with The Punch, Lawyer Fusika claimed that Seun Kuti had to stay in prison for 48 hours after he was given bail for further investigations. However, the magistrate who was supposed to receive advice from the DPP has said to have traveled for training. “The court, as you will recall, had ordered that the prosecution of the case must be by the DPP’s office and not by the police, hence, the police were also ordered to send the case file to the DPP for evaluation and decision as to prosecution. “The court was, therefore, to sit today to receive the DPP’s advice, but did not because, as we’re informed, the magistrate is attending a training course,” Fusika noted. Fusika on Tuesday disclosed that his client’s release has been granted already and was only awaiting “administrative approval.” “The release of Mr. Kuti on bail, as ordered by the magistrate, is only waiting for administrative approval. That process has nothing to do with whether or not the court has a physical sitting. We are hopeful that Mr. Kuti will be out today on the bail granted him, having fulfilled the terms,” the lawyer added.
