Seun Kuti Drops Bombshell, Says He Can Never Marry His Babymama

" I Can Never Marry My Babymama"
Femi Anikulapo's son, Seun Kuti has explained in an interview he
granted Punch why he can never get married and the only reason he can
collaborate with his senior brother, Femi Kuti. Seun says he does not
believe in marriage because he feels no one has the right to own the
other, and what he and his babymama practice is partnership and
nothing more. Excerpt from the interview;
Can we ever see you and Femi collaborating?
Collaborations like that are money spinners. If we would collaborate,
it is not because we want to do something great for music because we
are already making great music individually. But if we do it, it would
mainly be for financial reason. We agreed that as soon as we feel our
career is slowing down and money is not coming as it should, we would
jump into the studio and do a money spinner.
Did you actually mean it when you said you weren't going to get
married even to the mother of your child?
I don't believe in marriage. If I had wanted to be married, I would
have been working towards it. People can decide what they want to do
with their lives. I just don't believe in that institution especially
as it is set up today
How do you mean?
I don't like the idea of 'ownership.' Nobody has the right to own
anybody. This is a capitalist idea so that people can make profit off
love. You don't make profit off love.
What if the mother of your child decides to get married to someone else?
She is free. If she wants to be married, then that is her choice. What
will I do about it? Will I put a gun to her head and insist that she
should not get married? But I know she will not do that because we
have a strong bond and we understand each other and our partnership is
great. We are raising a beautiful daughter and it would be a big
surprise if she says she wants to get married to someone else.
