“I met her when I was 24 years and now I am 41, while my wife will be 37 this year.
His wife said: I have known him for a long time but we didn’t use to talk because he was older than me. I met him through his cousin and started working with him as a dancer. It wasn’t that he was out of my league but he had a lot of things going on for him, so at that time I wasn’t eyeing him.
Seun Kuti: At that time I had a girlfriend but I was attracted to her when I met her. I was toasting her and I didn’t know she was seeing someone I knew, that’s why she was playing hard to get.
Seun Kuti said: there was pressure for me to get married. I can’t be pressured because it is my happy place. We got married not under pressure”.
Speaking on what she considers a deal breaker in her marriage, she said she can never leave her husband because he cheated on her.
