Seun recounted that when he was a pupil his daily allowance was bigger than his teacher’s salary but when his father died he left him with no inheritance due to his (Fela Kuti’s) charitable nature.
Speaking in a shared video via his Instagram page, Segun noted that his father was catering for about 1000 people in his Kalakuta commune before his death.
