The late afrobeat pioneer, Fela Kuti, would likely face criticism and calls for his imprisonment if he were alive today, according to Grammy-winning Nigerian musician Burna Boy.

 

The grandson of Fela Kuti’s original manager, Benson Idonjie, Burna Boy, recently discussed his viewpoint in an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe in New York.

 

He emphasised that Fela Kuti’s experiences during his period were distinct from what musicians would face today, while acknowledging that the contemporary era has particular dynamics.

 

The singer expressed thanks for the circumstances of that time, which allowed Fela Kuti to use his music to transmit his profound words, as she thought back on the significance of the period in which he lived.

 

Burna Boy maintains that Fela Kuti’s influence was made possible by the unique circumstances of his time, which allowed him to express his conscious creativity, highlighting the fact that spirituality was more prevalent in earlier times.

 

He also asserted that ignorance and stupidity predominate in today’s society, although they did not at the time of Fela Kuti.

 

Burna Boy expressed gratitude that Fela Kuti lived during a time when it was possible for people to understand the true significance of his ideas, values, and the profound messages he delivered via his music.
