I Started Driving And Smoking When I Was 12 Years Old – Femi Kuti (Video)

Nigerian Afrobeats singer, Femi Kuti, has spoken on the type of upbringing he received from his late father, legendary Afrobeats musician, Fela Kuti, who he described as unconventional.

According to Femi who spoke on Channels TV programme, Rubbin Minds, his father was extremely liberal that he allowed him to drive cars and smoke cigarettes at the tender age of 12.

The singer said that life for him under his late father was characterized with so much freedom, such that he even went to night clubs at 16 and police were chasing him around town at the time.

The Grammy nominee who recalled how he drove exotic cars to secondary school and wowed fellow students said he thought that was life.

Femi, however, said he trains his kids in a different way, as he enforced rules with strictness.
