Afrobeat star and multi-instrumentalist, Made Kuti, has responded with grace after an X user insulted him for marrying an Igbo woman. The troll tagged him “a foolish Yoruba man” for “mixing blood,” but instead of anger, Made said he only felt pity.
He reminded Nigerians that Africa’s greatest leaders, including his legendary grandfather Fela Kuti, always preached unity, love, and collective growth — not ethnic hate or division. His response has since sparked massive reactions online, with many praising him for choosing love over tribal sentiment.
He wrote:
Made Kuti wrote: “Every one of our great African leaders believed in the importance of African unity because they had faith in the potential of our people to rise intellectually above the structures and limits set by colonial regimes and miseducation… Running backwards and believing ethnic superiority/inferiority is justifiable is slave mentality. The healthiest way to free your mind is to read. Enlighten yourself with history and knowledge left by leaders like Nkrumah, Lumumba, Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, Fela Kuti and Sankara. Free your mind ❤️”
