I want to be cremated when I die – Musician Femi Kuti

Singer and Afrobeat maestro Femi Kuti has said he wants to be cremated when he dies. The son of legendary Afrobeat great, Fela Anikulapo Kuti said this at a recent performance at the New Africa Shrine.

The 59-year-old musician said, “When I die, please cremate me, burn my body. It is the most hygienic way. Have you all thought about Ikoyi cemetery, this Lagos has been in existence for let’s just say 60 years and people die, if they don’t die today, they will die tomorrow and that burial ground has never been full and if you check it, it is not like it’s 1 million acres since I was little when we used to bury people there.”
