Seun Kuti Recently Opened Up About His Father Fela Kuti's Passing in a Heartfelt Instagram Livestream. During the conversation, Seun set the record straight on a claim made by a woman who felt Fela didn't deserve the praise he receives due to allegedly infecting his wives with HIV, which eventually led to his own AIDS-related death. Seun countered this idea, suggesting that it was actually one of Fela's wives who contracted the disease and brought it home to their patriarch. He also shared an interesting aspect of Fela's polygamous lifestyle, revealing that the legendary musician didn't enforce fidelity among his numerous wives. In fact, Fela was quite liberal and believed that as long as his partners were discreet about their outside relationships, they were free to see other men. Seun emphasized that Fela's biggest mistake wasn't his multiple relationships, but rather his failure to adhere to the traditional norms of polygamy, where husbands are expected to be the sole providers of romantic love to their multiple wives. This difference in approach, according to Seun, may have contributed to Fela's untimely demise. Seun also acknowledged that everyone makes mistakes, but he chose to focus on Fela's positive qualities, stating that his father was a champion of humanity.
