AFROBEAT KING "FEMI KUTI" BECOMES A FATHER FOR THE FIFTH TIME.



Words:Adedosu 'kenzy' Adekunle

Afrobeat maestro Femi Kuti is sure taking after his father’s footsteps – he’s already worked his way to being crowned king of the musical genre his father founded.

And for some time now, he’s thrown caution aside as he adopts the unconventional romance and baby making lifestyle of his late father Fela Anikulapo-Kuti. The junior Kuti, who has confessed being in a string of relationships, is now believed to be expecting his sixth child from his latest lover Antonia.

The lastest expecting mother Anthonia,interestingly,is also a dancer in Femi Kuti’s Positive Force Band.Both according to all findings,have been an item for months.

Though they don’t stay together,our source revealed Anthonia comes to Femi Kuti’s Alagbole,Ogun State home frequently.She also follows the maverick musician to social engagements whenever necessary.

An attempt to reach the activist-musician who we hear just rounded up his Europe tour and is back in the country proved abortive; and text messages sent to his sister Yeni kuti were not immediately replied. Our source visited the New Afrika Shrine on Thursday November 24, but none of the managers on duty was willing to comment.

The expected sixth child follows the birth of Kuti’s fifth child Tejumoluwa, from another dancer Bose Ajila on Tuesday, March 15, 2011.
