Seun Kuti has gone down in memory to remember the moment he once delivered bread to his late father, Fela Kuti, with cannabis hidden inside.
According to the Afrobeat singer, his late mother, Fehintola, had asked him to deliver the food to his father, who was then detained at the Federal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Alagbon Close, Lagos.
According to Seun, he was unaware at the time that he was carrying contraband to his father.
“We were going to visit my father at Panti, and my mum bought bread to give to him. She hid ‘Igbo’ inside the bread and asked me to hand it over when we got there,” he said.
“Bear in mind, I was about eight or nine years old. My parents were such gangsters, man! I didn’t even know what was going on. I just got there and gave my dad the bread.
“On our way home, my sister asked if I knew there was Igbo in the bread. My mum had told her, but didn’t tell me because she knew I might have said something to the police.”

Seun, 45, further noted that he visited his father in several detention facilities during his childhood.
“I’ve been to see my father in many places. I remember visiting him at Ikoyi Prison, Kirikiri Prison, Panti, and Alagbon,” he said.
