Singer Made Kuti Claps Back After Facing Backlash For Marrying Outside Yoruba Tribe

Afrobeat multi-instrumentalist, Made Kuti, has responded to an X user who insulted him for marrying an Igbo woman.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The user posted his photo alongside a derogatory comment: “The face of another foolish Yoruba man who married a useless Osu Igbo woman. It will never be well for those of you mixing Igbo blood with Yoruba blood.”

Made Kuti, however, said he felt no anger—only pity.

He emphasized that Africa’s greatest leaders, including his late grandfather Fela Kuti, championed unity and collective progress rather than ethnic division.

He wrote:

“Every one of our great African leaders believed in the importance of African unity because they had faith in the potential of our people to rise intellectually above the structures and limits set by colonial regimes and miseducation… Running backwards and believing ethnic superiority or inferiority is justifiable is slave mentality. The healthiest way to free your mind is to read. Enlighten yourself with the history and knowledge left by leaders like Nkrumah, Lumumba, Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, Fela Kuti, and Sankara. Free your mind ❤️”

Made added that he decided to speak out publicly because he has been seeing similar posts for some time.
