Why I Don't Believe In Marriage ––Femi Kuti Reveals

Femi Kuti is an interesting personality any day, and this time he didn't disappoint
as he talks about his private life in way you've not heard him talk before. He said
he has stopped "running after ladies" because he is now over 50 years. He also
speaks on his problem with "marriage" and it's rules.

Hear him:
"I am no more sexually active. When you see a beautiful woman, when you
reach my age and you have responsibility like myself, you will know what I
am talking about. Before now, as a young man, you would want to go after
her.

[But now] there are many nights I go and sleep alone not because I don’t
have girlfriends or want a girlfriend, when I think of the responsibility I have
in my life, I will immediately have a rethink.

The women in my life also have responsibilities. I can tell you that the
mothers of my children, we stay together, we are very serious. You could say
we are husband and wife but I don’t believe in marriage .

I just don’t understand why one man will say I pronounce you man and wife,
in that case. I pronounce myself man and wife. I am very different from my
father but in a lot of ways like him."
