An afrobeat singer and son of late Fela Anikulapo kuti,Seun kuti, has said that most artists who claim to draw inspiration from his late father actually don’t but only take that as an excuse to smoke and frolic with women.

In Instagram live chat with Ubi Franklin, a media personality, Seun said such artistes often hide under the notion of being inspired by the late singer to pursue their own interests.

The 37-year-old Afrobeat singer also added that majority of those who make such claims are from religious homes but they use his father as a form of “escapism

The Afrobeat musician who took over his father’s Egypt 80 band after his demise made this statement.
Speaking on the claims by some artist who claim to be inspired by Fela, Seun said “I think a lot of them grow up in Christian and Muslim homes but use Fela as an excuse to smoke and chase girls.
“And also using Fela as a reason to be reckless and rude to your elders. They are not really rude to the authorities”.
