During an Instagram Live video message, Seun Kuti emphasized that being a pan-Africanist doesn’t mean one should shy away from enjoying life’s pleasures.

In the video, Seun Kuti passionately expressed, “Anyone that tells you that to be a pan-Africanist is to suffer, is a liar. Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, is Fela also a liar? Do you enjoy more than Fela?” He debunked the notion that pan-Africanists must abstain from life’s pleasures, pointing out that Fela didn’t let his ideology hinder him from relishing what the world had to offer.

The revelation of Fela’s sweet indulgence adds a delightful layer to the legacy of the iconic musician. Seun Kuti’s storytelling serves as a reminder that embracing pan-Africanism doesn’t mean forsaking the joyous moments and treats that life brings – even if it means sending a personal assistant on a sweet mission to London
