“News published about Afro Beat
Legend Femi Kuti that surfaced on the internet on Friday about two of his five
children not belonging to him after taking a paternity test was not a recent
occurrence but actually happened over 8 years ago.
Encomium Magazine recently published
an interview with Femi Kuti 8 years ago where he spoke about his music, career
and personal life. During this interview he spoke on the identity of 5 of his
children and then revealed that two of these 5 children were not his and that he
had since making this discovery returned the children to their mother.
Reports labeling this story as
recent are false, this old interview was simply rehashed by some blogs and
newspapers in a bid to steer up controversy and have something to sell, some blogs
even went as far as publishing pictures of his legitimate children in a bid to
pass them off as the affected children. Femi Kuti is a loving and responsible
father who takes the privacy of his children very seriously and so we request
that blogs, newspapers and magazines kindly take off the pictures from their
platforms as this is an evasion of their privacy as well as a security risk for
the children.”
Thank you for your cooperation.
