Nigerian Singer, Made Kuti Reacts As Man Criticises Him For Marrying Igbo Woman

Afrobeat singer Made Kuti, the grandson of the legendary Fela Kuti, has responded to the backlash surrounding his marriage to Inedoye Onyenso.

Recall that Kuti tied the knot with Inedoye Onyenso at a civil wedding ceremony in Lagos in November 2023.

Their marriage has been subjected to criticisms by bigots who accused them of “mixing blood” due to their different ethnic backgrounds.

Reacting to a recent post by an X user, @AdemolaOgudu, who called him a “foolish Yoruba man” for marrying an Igbo woman, Kuti stated that “believing ethnic superiority/inferiority is justifiable is slave mentality.”

He urged his critics to enlighten themselves with “history and knowledge left” by Pan-Africanists like his great-grandmother Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, his grandfather Fela Kuti, Kwame Nkrumah, and Thomas Sankara.

He explained that Africa would gain more when united.
