Femi Kuti Denies Supporting Buhari or Tinubu, Upholds Fela's Legacy

Femi Kuti, a veteran Afrobeat musician, refuted claims of supporting former President Buhari or politician Tinubu, stressing his alignment with his father Fela Kuti's anti-oppression legacy. He recently accepted a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award on behalf of Fela, symbolizing global recognition for Fela's fight against dictatorship in Nigeria and Africa.

Fela's music, known for challenging military rule and corruption, continues to inspire Femi and his siblings to keep Afrobeat alive. Femi emphasized the impossibility of associating with leaders his father opposed, considering it deeply offensive.

He rejects comparisons between modern Nigerian musicians and Fela, preferring to focus on critical national issues. Femi's dedication to performing Fela's songs and supporting new Afrobeat artists underscores his commitment to upholding his father's message.

Netizens praised Femi's clarity and commitment to preserving Fela's legacy.
