Made Kuti, an Afrobeat musician and the son of renowned Fela Kuti, has discussed marriage proposals and the process.
The 30-year-old disclosed that he didn’t go down on his knees when he proposed to his wife, Inedoye Onyenso, because he feels that a decision should be made by both parties rather than one person pleading.
The Grammy-nominated musician made this statement in a recent Timeless Podcast episode that was posted on the Nix Network YouTube channel.
When I proposed to my wife, I told her it was a shared decision, so I didn’t get down on my knees. “We are not pleading with one another to spend time together,” he remarked.
In a private ceremony held in Lagos in November 2023, Made Kuti and Inedoye Onyenso were married.
The musician disclosed that Inedoye used to be his “school daughter.”
In 2025, Made addressed people who said that because of their disparate ethnic backgrounds, he and his Igbo wife, Inedoye, were “mixing blood.”
Ethnic prejudice, according to the musician, is “slave mentality.”
