Made Kuti, an Afrobeat musician and the grandson of the renowned Fela Kuti, has responded to the criticism directed at his marriage to Inedoye Onyenso.
Remember that in November 2023, Kuti married Inedoye Onyenso in a civil ceremony in Lagos.
Bigots have criticized their marriage, claiming that because of their disparate ethnic backgrounds, they are “mixing blood.”
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 encouraged his detractors to educate themselves on the “history and knowledge left” by Pan-Africanists such as Kwame Nkrumah, Thomas Sankara, his great-grandmother Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, and his grandpa Fela Kuti.
Africa would benefit more from unity, he clarified.
