Seun Kuti is tired of people who call themselves the New Fela and here's why

The singer was recently interviewed on Cool FM where he discussed his music and his late father.

In a post shared on the radio station’s Instagram page, Seun Kuti slammed musicians who have developed the habit of calling themselves the New Fela.

“Fela’s legacy belongs to his family. It is disrespectful to call yourself the ‘New Fela.’ We the kids are told that we can’t be our father and outsiders are trying to take that. No! You can’t go to Jamaica and hear people calling themselves the next Bob Marley. They wouldn’t disrespect him like that,” the post read.
