We\u2019ve learned from the past\u2014those who remember our attempt to host Miss World in Nigeria in 2002 know the challenges we faced. But let me make this clear: what happened then will not repeat itself.

According to Afrobeats artist Seun Kuti, his late father, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, was a fantastic father to him. <\/p>
Kuti revealed that he was spoilt as a youngster. <\/p>
<\/p>
He said as much when he was a guest on the Zero Conditions program. <\/p>
<\/p>
He remembered being treated better by his father than the rest of his siblings. <\/p>
<\/p>
The musician claimed to be his father's favorite, emphasizing that despite what his siblings may think, he was a wonderful parent to him. <\/p>
<\/p>
The musician boasted that he had never done laundry in his life because he had been spoiled since he was a young child.<\/p>
\"I won the daddy lottery,\" he declared. My all-time favorite person in the world is Fela Kuti. My brothers may argue that he was a bad father, but in my opinion, he was an incredible one.<\/p>
<\/p>
You have no idea how pampered I was as a child. I have never done laundry before in my life. It's beyond my knowledge to wash anything. I'm not boasting.<\/p>
<\/p>
Also, he disclosed that at the age of eight, he joined Egypt 80, the band led by his late father.<\/p>
<\/p>
Since I was eight years old, I have been a member of Fela's Egypt 80 band. Thus, my family urged me to carry on with the band and keep all of the money I make since Fela passed away,\" he remarked.<\/p>
