Afrobeat singer and grandson of music legend Fela Anikulapo Kuti, Made Kuti, has offered a rare glimpse into the private life and philosophy of his grandfather-shedding light on Fela's uncompromising values, his decline in public favour, and the emotional scars carried by his family.
Speaking on the Tea With Tay podcast, Made Kuti didn't hold back. "Music is one of the worst professions where nepotism can succeed, because it's brutally honest.
If you see me perform and it's not good, you'll know.
You can't fake it," he said, underscoring how Fela never handed out privileges, even to his own children.
