It’s disrespectful to call yourself the new Fela – Seun Kuti

Seun Kuti, who is unarguably the most outspoken son of late Afro music legend, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, has declared that it is totally disrespectful for anyone to claim he or she is the new Fela.

Though a number of artistes show their intentions to be likened to the music legend, the member of the Anikulapo Clan declared during on the Midday Oasis show at a radio station in Lagos, Cool FM where he interacted with popular On Air Personalty, Dotun.

He stated that no one in Jamaica will claim to be the new Bob Marley and wondered while Nigerian artistes will claim to be his father, considering that even the children of the late legend never at any time claims to be him.

It may be recalled that, Seun Kuti once called out American rapper Kanye West after he mentioned that the spirit of Fela lives in him.

Seun had said;

” The spirit of Fela has not left his family and so will never live in anyone”
