Made, the first grandson of afrobeat legend, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, recently gave his parents, Femi and Funke Kuti, reasons to be proud as he gave a superlative two-hour performance at his second concert on Friday, October 29, 2021, in Lagos.
Collaborating with highlife bands, The Bandhitz and The Cavemen, Made gave such a sterling performance that his father, Femi, admitted he had come of age and was ready to take over the world. He said, “His performance was electrifying and on point, I couldn’t be more proud.”
His mother, Funke, also noted that the night was an amazing one, agreeing with Femi on Made’s sounds, breath control, style and dexterity. She said, “You ‘killed’ the show. (I’m) so proud of you, my darling.”
