Beyoncé plays Fela Kuti’s music at her African-themed baby shower, Nigerians react (Video)

World class music legend Beyonce Knowles will son welcome her twins, And to celebrate the impending arrival, the 35-year-old superstar was
thrown a ‘push party’ on Saturday in Beverly Hills, attended by her
family and closest friends.

Some of the famous faces joining in with the baby shower celebrations
included Bey’s BFF Kelly Rowland, her sister Solange, Michelle Williams,
Serena Williams and LaLa Anthony. The Drunk In Love singer’s mum Tina Lawson shared a video from inside the bash showing all her friends shouting: “Happy Carter Push Party!”
In the video she shared music playing in the background is no other than
our very own Nigerian multi-instrumentalist and Afrobeat legend, Fela
Anikulapo Kuti’s music. You will recall how she paid homage to Yoruba
goddess, Yemoja, in a poem soon after announcing her pregnancy back in February.

Beyonce’s song writer, The-Dream, revealed in an interview that he
recorded an entire, unreleased album with Beyonce prior to 2011 LP 4,
inspired by Fela. According to the producer behind hits “Single Ladies
(Put A Ring On It)” and “Run The World (Girls),” the project was
inspired by Nigerian Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti.

According to People magazine, Beyonce was proudly baring her belly at the party after being covered in henna tattoos.

While a source told E!: “The party was very family friendly with Blue
Ivy and lots of her friends running around the grounds of the estate.
There was a huge tent erected on the property where most of the shower
took place. The decor was African themed and very colorful with lounge seating areas, floor pillows and rugs on the floor.
