"Femi Kuti tells Yes! International magazine:
"I will never get married again. I don't think I will ever be able to trust anybody. I will never be able to give any woman that chance. First, I will never be faithful. Never ever! I will not even try to be faithful. I won't! Because first of all, I don't even believe a woman would be faithful to me. And why does she want to be faithful to me? First, I think it's very unnatural and I can not even imagine standing somewhere and one man will say 'I pronounce you man and wife. Who are you to pronounce me man and wife? Okay, I pronounce myself man and wife. There's a girl who lives with me now. She's not as jealous as most of my other girlfriends.. She knows I like women, so we understand each other. She doesn't question me, I don't question her. She takes cares of our child, no wahala. But the minute she starts being over-jealous, we are going to start to fight. She's the kind of person that I will say, that girl is fine o, and she will say, should I chase her for you? And I will say don't worry, I can do it myself.Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
It's about freedom expression, freedom of the mind, freedom of being able to live and if that institution can not give me that, why should I go into an institution that is about restriction? It doesn't mean that I'm somebody that wants to sleep around, I just don't like 'don't, don't, don't! I don't need an institution to tell me that.
I don't want anybody to question me. Who are you to question my life? Have you heard any of my song questioning anybody? And every time I've tried to love, they have broken my heart. From day one - either because I'm Fela's son. I hear the parents say 'oh, you want to marry Fela's son? God forbid. Even Funk that I married, when her mother found out I was Fela's son, she scream no o! God forbid. Funke had to runaway to get pregnant o! And we ran away to get married. So, by the time she and her mother made up, of course, the marriage collapsed.
So you see, I try to be straight forward. Why should I lie? I'm popular and I now want to be sneaking from house to house or lie to my girlfriend? There's no way they won't catch me so it's better you're truthful. So I don't start a relationship with 'you are my one and only, bla bla bla. No! I like you very much but the possibility of liking someone else is there. I tell them. Even my wife Funke, I made this very clear to her. I don't start my relationship based on you are the only one, I want to marry you, you're the apple of my eyes. I start by being very truthful.

ReplyDeleteU av your live to leave
ReplyDeleteYou are mad to make this statement. Do you know there is God which all of us are accountable? Where is morality here. Well, you are the son of the Devil. you better change.
ReplyDeleteIf I were to point at d mad one here,it ll be U. Can't u guyz make a statement without insults? Whatever happened to decency in public forum?u can convey ur message without being insultive. We all know what he's doing ÈŠ̝̊̅§ morally wrong but that's the line he has decided to tow,y not give advice rather that hurl abusive words,nd nobody made u the judge of morals coz I'm certain u have ur own dark sides too. U are not under compulsion to comment if u can criticize constructively.
DeleteWhat's d difference between the person u claim ÈŠ̝̊̅§ mad(femi kuti) and urself?y ÈŠ̝̊̅§ it so difficult to construct a simple statement without being abusive? U ar under no compulsion to comment on a post if U don't have anything positive to write. And who made u d judge of morality?we all know there's a God,nd we also know femi's action ÈŠ̝̊̅§ immoral but would insults guide him to d right path?advice people constructively nd stop hurling insults.
DeleteI still remembers early 80s @ d African Shrine when Femi Kuti used to puff weed like his dad until he had a probs 1 particular night with 2 much consumption of weed.Definitely that night something came loose in his brain that makes him reason/believe in such about himself n marriage.was happy 4 him bcos he stopped weed smoking then but not sure if he's back @ it now
ReplyDeleteur statement is borne out of frustration and emotion. hence, no element of sense in it.
ReplyDeleteYou guys should stop fighting over what femi kuti said.he has right to err his views about anything in life.and nobody is above mistake.so hold your peace guys.
ReplyDeleteFemi kuti has the right to err his views on anything .so you people should stop been furious with what femi said.
ReplyDeleteTry 2 trust,never say die until d bones ar ruting,u can stil find d woman of ur heart dat u wil trust,take everyting 2 God in prayer.
ReplyDeletei think Femi Kuti just havent found a woman he loves more than he does his freedom..
ReplyDeletePlease Nigerianeye, stop publishing some nastic statement on this page. this is not a site for arogant people. Can't some one make any statement without the word "foolish, God punish you, idiot etc. we should try and reason like adults. The man you are talking about may be better than you if compared. every one has freedom of speech. Femi can even bring souls to repentance if God uses him from his testimony. God knows very well that he has kept him to serve God. Plsssssss
