Baba Ani Promoting Evil Agenda Against Fela’s Family — Yeni Kuti

Yeni Kuti, the daughter of Afrobeat legend, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, has alleged that her father’s former manager and master saxophonist, Lekan Animashaun, popularly known as Baba Ani, is promoting an evil agenda to destroy the Fela family.

GWG observed that Baba Ani had stated in an interview that the reason people no longer see him at the shrine is because Fela’s eldest son Femi, banned him from coming.

However, Yeni Kuti claimed that Baba Ani was one of those who was promoting hatred in the Kuti family.

“I am surprised that one of the perpetrators and feeders of the ‘war’ in the family has come up to give a narrative of outright lies,” she said.

She further stated that the agendas of Baba Ani and others to fan once again flames of discord will continue to fail.

In the interview, Baba Ani explained that he started having issues with the Kuti family after Fela passed away.

According to him, Femi wanted to work with him, but he turned down his request, considering the latter’s personality, which didn’t sit well with him.

“On the first day Seun’s band was going to play at the New Afrika Shrine, I got to Kalakuta, where Fela lived with his family.

“On getting there, I went upstairs to fetch Seun, and when I met him, he advised me not to go with them for their first show. I asked why.

“Then, he told me he wasn’t comfortable with what his senior siblings often say about me. Hence, I didn’t need to honour the band’s decision,” he said.
