He further added “My father was under immense media propaganda. He was very scrutinised. And most of it were directed to the women that were in his life; his female back-up singers, dancers.

“They all lived together with my dad but the media started calling them prostitútès.

“So my dad, in order to preserve their honour and dignity, asked them if they would choose to be his brides so nobody would call them names anymore and they all agreed. That was how the marriage happened.” he said.

This has truly promoted a popular saying that Fela Kuti is a polygamous singer.
