Why FELA d!ed poor – Made Kuti

The grandson of Afrobeat pioneer, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, Made has revealed why his grand father d!ed poor

Made Kuti made the revelation while speaking in a recent episode of the Tea With Tay podcast hosted by actor Taymesan.

He explained that Fela never spent the money he made at shows, vut gave it freely to the needy.

“He was broke. Fela died poor… He had the kind of money that could have bought a whole street, but when he comes back from a show in Kalakuta, he will open a box of money and say anyone who needs it should take it. Anybody from the street could walk into Fela’s house. It was an open house policy, anybody could walk in and walk out at any time,” he said.

“His children were not allowed to call him ‘dad’ or ‘father’ because he didn’t want any preferential treatment for them. Everybody was equal in Kalakuta.”
