Grammy nominated Nigerian artiste, Seun Kuti has revealed that his late father, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti used to send his personal assistant to buy ice cream and sweets for him in London.
He said that anybody who says being a pan-Africanist means to suffer, and his father was proof of the fault in that claim.
According to him, Fela’s PA would leave Nigeria in the morning and arrive in London in the afternoon just to buy the Afrobeats pioneer’s favourite sweets which he will return with that same evening.
Seun Kuti who posted a video online, criticised those who expect him and other Pan Africanists to live a simple life devoid of luxury and human pleasures.
He said; “Anybody in this world that says to you to be a Pan Africanist is to struggle, means to suffer is a liar. Fela Anikulapo Kuti, Fela too na liar? Fela no be Pan- Africanist, you lick ice cream reach Fela?
“Fela go send him PA, Tuesday morning flight to London that wan go leave Nigeria by 10am,e go arrive London by 3pm. He has to go to Bon street to buy Fela’s favourite sweet.”
