When your soar-away magazine reported to you last week about how the scion of Afro-beat Legend, Femi Anikulapo Kuti, became a new father, the story was received with mixed feelings in many quarters. Femi is now thumbing his chest about how he will stop at nothing to become a father of many children like his father. The new mother of his baby, Bose Ajila, as we reported last week, is now basking in the euphoria of being Femi’s new wife. Meanwhile we should still update you with the story we served you last week on how Bose was elated about her delivery of a baby girl for Femi. It is served to you still hot and fresh as ever.
“One of Africa’s biggest and widely respected Afrobeat act, Femi Kuti and long time dancer Bose Ajila have taken delivery of their first baby girl together.
Sources say Bose Ajila, who is one of Femi’s several mistresses, put to bed few weeks ago.
Bose, who has been a long time member of Femi’s ‘Positive Force’ music band has toured with Femi to Europe and other parts of the world over the years – and their affair has been known to band members and New Afrika Shrine regulars for a while now. In a recent TV interview, Femi disclosed that he was expecting another baby, ‘…there is Omorinmade, there is Ayomide, there is Tunmise, there is Lade and I have a new born baby coming very soon. I would like all of them to be in the art business, if not play music on stage as performing artistes…’.
Just last year Femi, son of Afrobeat creator Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, received his second Grammy nomination at the 52nd edition of the Grammy Awards in the Best Contemporary World Music Album category.
Femi has only been married once (to Funke Kuti, on May 8, 1995). The marriage ended controversially and rather abruptly in April 2003, allegedly due to infidelity.
Last year, he said ‘I have girlfriends. I don’t believe in marriage. I got married once and I knew I was wrong. He also claimed he ‘has many girlfriends and they know themselves”. What this now indicates is that Femi, the son of Afro-beat legend, Fela Anikulapo has definitely taken after his father who died as the husband of many wives and father of many children.
