Yeni Kuti Reveals She Will Marry Her Boyfriend At Age 75

Dancer and daughter of the late Afrobeat originator, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, Yeni, has revealed in a recent statement that she intends to get married.

Yeni Kuti further went on to explain that she has a partner and intends to get married at the age of 75.

She said, “I have a partner and we have started our marriage plans. We would get married when I am 75 years old.”

She said, “With this lockdown, I’m broke. Our kind of business is not what one can run online. People have to come to the Shrine to enjoy themselves and that’s when they patronise us.”

The retired dancer also advised that now was not the time to flaunt luxurious items in the midst of the excruciating poverty in the land.

Yeni kuti said, “I don’t do that (post flashy things). Even if I can afford it, I am not that kind of person. In a country where so many people are hungry, why should one want to flaunt designer products? You can do that if you are in America where most people are comfortable. I could post a picture of myself dressed up but not wearing designer items. Life is transient. All the things in this world can’t be taken anywhere with one when one dies. Now, we are not even allowed to attend any social gathering, so if one has the best shoes and clothes, one can’t wear them to anywhere.”

Kuti also admonished Nigerians not to feel depressed by whatever they see on social media.

She added, “I don’t think they should feel oppressed. Some people actually post things to make themselves feel good. They too might be having issues in their lives and maybe it is those postings that make them feel better. I don’t think anyone should lead their life based on what others are doing. I don’t do that; I do what I feel is right. One shouldn’t be envious of any other person because you don’t know what the person is going through.”
