My Upbringing Is Why I Chose To Be With One Woman – Made Kuti

Made Kuti

Popular Afrobeat musician and saxophonist, Made Kuti, has shared why he doesn’t have social media on his phone. He recently revealed that he avoids the internet to stay away from the limelight, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he prefers to focus on practising his music as best as he can, while curbing the desire to always be the subject of attention.

Made added that his proper upbringing is the reason he has decided to love one woman and stay with her for the rest of his life.

His words, “But back to what he(Femi) said as well, about growing up as a child in a famous family. So I had similar experiences as he did, but I learnt to sort of manage those experiences at a very young age.

So for example at this moment, I don’t have social media on my phone because I prefer to stay away from not so much limelight, but more so the desire to always be the subject of attention. So, I really believe that what I should do as a musician is practice my music as best as I can and deliver music to the best of my abilities. And that is what should define me.

This kind of thinking, my philosophy in life, the fact that I can say I love one woman and want to stay with her for the rest of my life. That’s not him (Femi). So it’s a totally different life. I grew up in a home where family was priority. My father grew up in a home where the country was priority. So it’s a totally different, polar opposite upbringing. I did grow up in the shrine as well but with a lot of mediation by him.

Myself and my siblings have had a great upbringing, that I truly have nothing to complain about, from love, teachings about life, my academics, my passion, what I want to pursue, myself, so much so that I am quite a stable person.”

WOW.
