Femi Kuti Expecting 10th Child

Afrobeat legend, Femi Kuti, has announced that he is expecting his 10th child.

The music star revealed this during a conversation with the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, Omoyele Sowore, according to QED.com.

Sowore, also the publisher of Saharareporters, shared the video of his conversation with the 56-year-old Afrobeat icon at the New Afrikan Shrine via Facebook on Monday.

“I even have a new baby coming,” Femi Kuti said casually at the beginning of the conversation.

He added that he had wanted to stop having children at his age and that he was worried about the cost of educating a child in Nigeria.

Femi Kuti confirmed in a 2017 interview that he had 9 Children, 3 of them having been adopted.

In December 2018, he celebrated his son, Made’s graduation from London’s Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, the same institution attended by Fela Anikulapo in the 1960’s.
