Afrobeats musician, Seun Kuti has revealed that he joined his late dad’s band, Egypt 80, at the age of 8.
In an interview with Zero Conditions podcast., 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.”
He also disclosed that he was pampered as a child.
“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.
“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.”
