The Greatest Success in Life is to be remembered even after you are gone.

Nigerian Music Legend, Fela Kuti has had a lot of Tributes to his name since his passing. He Revolutionized music by giving the people a voice through melodious sound in his time, this touched and still continues to touch the hearts of many today -as it did Wyclef.





Wyclef Jean, an award winning American singer has disclosed that the forth of his song his new upcoming album [Carnival III: The Fall and Rise of a Refugee] is tiltled “Fela Kuti”.

You might wonder what a Nigerian Music Legend has in common with Wyclef, well thats away from the fact that both are into music of course. -Well, Wyclef put some similarities together, he said;

‘Fela Kuti studied jazz in England. Wyclef studied jazz at Vailsburg High School. Fela Kuti then went back to his country and tried to help his country by running for president. Wyclef, you know, did the same thing.’

‘Fela Kuti’ was produced by Supah Mario, with Wyclef deciding to work with the producer after hearing his work on Young Thug‘s song, ‘Wyclef Jean.’

‘This is what happens when you put two generations together that inspire each other,’



The artist revealed his reason for naming the song “Fela Kuti”. He stated;

‘I decided to name it Fela Kuti because for me, I feel like we be thinking of [Bob] Marley, we give a lot of people from our past props, so when the kids hear Fela Kuti, I really want them to Google it.’

He added, ‘For me, the same way kids can have songs called ‘Wyclef Jean’ who are influenced by me, I want kids to know who Fela is and what he means.’

Wonder what legacy "skiboroboskibo, skiboroboskibo" will leave behind.

Greatness is by hard work and inspiration
... it's not by shouting "Pepper Dem Gang, Oh Baby"

#Respect!

And someone somewhere is singing "banana fall on you". I guess banana is going to remember him later in life.

Chairman..

Fela rightly described Buhari as an animal

Favourite lyrics -
Na craze world be dat
Na be outside- Buhari dey
Na craze man be dat
Animal in craze-man skin-i
Na craze world be dat
Na be outside- Idia-gbon dey
Na craze man be dat- oh
Animal in craze-man skin-i

#Legendary!!

Nice one.

fela is not only a legend but a prophet. he saw the future.

he spoke against this old re-cycled thieves ruling us

baba fela was a prophet, freedom fighter and a daredevil who saw the future. just like most hardcore reggae artistes. now before u start throwing jabs at some new generation artists, know that everybody got his own calling... till now old folk in ma area still listen to Sir Shina peters, Dayo kujore, kolington, tunji oyelana. so if u think lil kesh , 9ice, pyhno, bado and co are gonna fade off without leaving any indelible mark on our music industry and lifestyle, then u are definitely living in mars.... who u EPP sef.

much love clef

Nice

lesson for upcoming artistes

Though gone, but his legacies live forever.

Continue to RIP Abami Eda.

Fela ni, Kuti ko
Wetin concern me

God bless you Me Wyclef

Wyclef still remains Nigeria's number 1 boxer..

Well, he sang about his Mum, maybe kids too will remember him for that.

Michael Jackson was remembered for break dance, Jordan was remembered for that Nike Air what ever where he stayed on air few seconds, who knows... He may be remembered for speaking in tounge.

Calm down.
