Afrobeat artist Seun Kuti recently claimed that his late father, Fela Kuti, contracted HIV from one of his several wives.
During an Instagram livestream, Seun refuted suggestions that Fela transmitted the virus to his partners, emphasizing instead that his father was the one affected.
He also revealed that Fela did not impose restrictions on his wives having relationships outside their marriage, a decision he now views as one of his father’s biggest missteps.
Kuti said, “Fela made many mistakes. One of the mistakes he made -one day, I saw a video of a lady online saying why are people praising Fela’s legacy despite him giving women HIV and dying of AIDS.
“I said, ‘Oh, Fela, you see yourself?’ If Fela was a traditional man, he would still be alive. I will tell you something about him that you might not have known, Fela’s women all had other men.
“Fela did not keep his women to himself. He believed that as he is free to sleep with all the women, the women are also free to meet other men. His law was that they shouldn’t bring the men to his house.
“My father doesn’t leave his house to sleep with other women outside, so it was his women who brought HIV home to him. Nobody is perfect. Everybody make mistakes. But Fela is a man that is on the side of humanity.”
