"I will never be faithful to a woman. Never ever!' - Femi Kuti says

"Femi Kuti tells Yes! International magazine:
"I will never get married again. I don't think I will ever be able to trust anybody. I will never be able to give any woman that chance. First, I will never be faithful. Never ever! I will not even try to be faithful. I won't! Because first of all, I don't even believe a woman would be faithful to me. And why does she want to be faithful to me? First, I think it's very unnatural and I can not even imagine standing somewhere and one man will say 'I pronounce you man and wife. Who are you to pronounce me man and wife? Okay, I pronounce myself man and wife. There's a girl who lives with me now. She's not as jealous as most of my other girlfriends.. She knows I like women, so we understand each other. She doesn't question me, I don't question her. She takes cares of our child, no wahala. But the minute she starts being over-jealous, we are going to start to fight. She's the kind of person that I will say, that girl is fine o, and she will say, should I chase her for you? And I will say don't worry, I can do it myself. 
He said a lot more. Continue...



It's about freedom expression, freedom of the mind, freedom of being able to live and if that institution can not give me that, why should I go into an institution that is about restriction? It doesn't mean that I'm somebody that wants to sleep around, I just don't like 'don't, don't, don't! I don't need an institution to tell me that.

I don't want anybody to question me. Who are you to question my life? Have you heard any of my song questioning anybody? And every time I've tried to love, they have broken my heart. From day one - either because I'm Fela's son. I hear the parents say 'oh, you want to marry Fela's son? God forbid. Even Funk that I married, when her mother found out I was Fela's son, she scream no o! God forbid. Funke had to runaway to get pregnant o! And we ran away to get married. So, by the time she and her mother made up, of course, the marriage collapsed.

So you see, I try to be straight forward. Why should I lie? I'm popular and I now want to be sneaking from house to house or lie to my girlfriend? There's no way they won't catch me so it's better you're truthful. So I don't start a relationship with 'you are my one and only, bla bla bla. No! I like you very much but the possibility of liking someone else is there. I tell them. Even my wife Funke, I made this very clear to her. I don't start my relationship based on you are the only one, I want to marry you, you're the apple of my eyes. I start by being very truthful.

you all talking like you know better.. if only you know what these women can make one do.. You can't blame femi for his decision..if you all know the true story behind his statement then you will have no reason to put blames on him in a hurry. CHeers! God Bless Nigeria

I do not agree with his takes on marriage and relationship but i RESPECT him. At least he is being truthful about things. He is not going around lying to women up and down. Unlike men theses days, they know they cannot stay faithful but yet get married. Being truthful #KEY!!!

Annon 4.43 i am more than a billion times more useful than your man femi...
I return your insult back to you. Funke did not cheat, he said when her mother came back into her life their mrriage broke down.
Even if, had he never cheated before... abeg he should grow up

amerigo said...

Yes. We share some views (the fact that you could like anyone, and there's no "one and only") that's very true. I'm not judging you, But you still make me wonder if you're a christian.

Femi is the Ideal African man ! We have to uphold our culture not a white ans ideology of what marriage should be. You that you say you want a monogamous marriage, isn't your husband cheating on you, you think he doesn't see those beautiful girls?

The bible is very explicit when it needs to be, "Thou shall not kill." It has no other interpretation than "Thou shall not kill." But no where in the bible did it say that one man must get married to just one woman explicitly. Any interpretation of any passage of the bible that supports monogamy is a prejudiced interpretation, i.e you find what you were looking for. Our Abraham had multiple wives and concubines and yet the bible says he is at the bosom of the father. The purpose of creating eve was to be a "help-meet" and so, if a woman is not able to satisfy this purpose fully in the life of a man, the man will be foolish not to get more women to make up for the qualities his wife lacks. After all the reason God created women was because the animals were not "help-meet" enough for Adam.

FEMI, I FEEL YOU(I'VE BEEN THERE TOO). BUT AS WE SAY, "DEM DON SHOW YOU".
THAT-NOT-WITHSTANDING,MOVE-ON, DON'T CHEAT YOURSELF, FORGET YOUR FAME, DO WHAT WE KNOW YOU FOR, BE YOURSELF....NO SHAME, NO HOLDING BACK......"FIND THE JOY OF YOURLIFE" (HERE ON EARTH) JUST LIKE SUPERSTAR ANGELINA JOLIE. I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST.

The only thing this man did wrong was expressing how he genuinely feels. People on this blog and outside live the same way but lack the nerves to say it. Wat a hypocritical society.
I disagree with Femi but i respect his opinion. And for all of you talking about aids/stds, u dont even know if he practices safe sex than you all. And while we are at that please be advised that there are many more ailments more deadly than aids. Take care folks.

I pray this gets to him ... You are not being judged because its not in our place to judge. That you have had failed marriages is not based on your popularity or on the fact that you are Fela's son. What you are engaged in presently is not acceptable in the sight of God. He said come unto me all yea that labor and are heavy laden and I would give you rest, he needs you to cast your cares on him. You can have true joy if only you believe in him, that sort of marriage you desire could be yours, a life with more than one woman is a sin. please read 1 corinthians 6:9-20,1 corinthians 10:8,12,13 and 23. I pray that the Lord would help you.

Easy to identify all the comments from the womenfolks! Always looking for "me and my husband" thing and choke the man up in the process.

Thunder fire all of you, one after the other..

The way of the devil is to question every ordinance and institution God put in place, and seek a way to rubbish them. Fami is a satanist. I dnt envy him. He has never put any good song down, just like his father. They gain fame by making ridicule of God. He still has a chance to repent.

Thank GOD for the way i was brought up....really, i dont knw why people think disgracing their selves by washing their dirty linen 4 d world to c is d best way of expressing their pathetic lives! well like i said its just upbringing. keep it up oga whether ur faithful or not its ur own share of problem not ours

Good thing he is coming out with it, it is way better than those who make those empty promises and end up doing nothing about keeping it. every body has their choice of life. clearly he has had a few heart breaks and has decided not again and i respect it. i highly respect his decision and cant judge him cuz i have never walked in his shoes..... same goes to every other person who is commenting.... never judge a man if you have never walked in his shoes......

Mimi said...

Funke was bloody fucking around,she broke his heart big time,seems to be in her genes though. How the hell does anyone expect this guy to be faithful? When men with good and faithful wives are unfaithful?

peculiar magazine said...

Goodluck in your new life man, you just been stupid ! dats all

Anonymous said...

I personally don't think he is promiscuous, he seems pretty normal only heart broken. Holding on to anger, hurt or pain will only keep you from moving on,....just let it go. People should learn to forgive, unforgiveness keeps you in prison and stops you from really living........by Grown Up Girl

Anonymous said...

Pray tell what is he addicted to?

Cutest Sealord said...

Can't see d reason for all d hating anyway. Its a simple fact dat bcos he can't be faithful to any woman, then no man or woman will be faithful to any of his kids when they become adults n are ready to settle down. Yea, dats d way it works. D fucking faggot tinks he can disrespect women or abuse dem d way he pleases simply bcos he's an Anikulapo? We luv our women n respect dem cos we got sisters n mothers. Femi abeg go jump inside lagoon. Rubbish!!!
