Hello! Did Burna wear pantiies for SANTA(xmas), or did he put that on to church?
He did that in respect and honor of Fela at the African Shrine.
So, what's the big deal?

Oildichotomy^:
He wore pant, so what?

Burna Boy performance was understood by all asundry, young and old alike.

He did it for Baba 70 and trust me , Burna boy did a good job, try and watch the video of the performance.

Ehen, that reminds me, Are Fela videos performances online? Cos they seems to be so copyrighted !

@ bolded. Two of my favourite Fela videos.

There was a coup on January 1st 1984. Lots of people were confused by that coup (although some had been expecting the coup since October). NTA2 Channel 5 went off air. NTA Channel 10 interrupted their regular schedule and showed this all day.

Fela in Berlin (1978)

On many Saturday afternoons in the mid and late 1980s, LTV 8 would show this (for an hour or more). (The beginning has no audio, but keep watching).

Fela in Paris (1984)

As someone who has followed afrobeat from a very young age. I av never watched a video of fela performing with pant on stage. He might rehearse while in his pant but that was at the shrine which was living his house. The only other time I saw fela in pant was at some interview he gave during lekki sun splash back in the day. But even at that he didn't perform in pant at those concerts.

Lil'knight:
Afrobeat Legend FELA!’s son Seun Kuti has reacted to Burna Boy’s infamous underwear performance at the Felabration 2013. Seun Kuti made his comment via his Blackberry messenger status as people thought he was the one on stage, “Nna na wa o. I am bald for christ sake and fela never wore pants on stage. Tell burna that!!”

He confirms the fact that Fela never wore his underwear on stage.

Pop Sensation Burna Boy must have had seen Fela! in his dreams or had one blunt too many as he stripped to his underwear while performing at the Afrikan Shrine for the close of Felabration 2013. Another famous attempt of ‘Fela in pants’ is the dude who came for an audition at an earlier West African Idols and got chewed by Dede who is Fela!’s protege.

In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king (referring to Abacha's strabismus and the fact that Nigerians rarely challenge their leaders).

Exactly!!!
It seems Seun was unborn at the time his father did the sordid deed nor did Dede Mabiaku had joined the band.
After all, Seun was born 1987 or there-about ( I don't know when Dede joined the band).


I can still recollect the dumb-founding tales my dad & his friends regalled me about how Fela performed in briefs in their undergraduate hay-days at UI in the 70s

So, these their side of the story is obviously not a true picture.

Fela did perform in panties in the early part of his musical career
