By Nigerian Afrobeat singer, Seun Anikulapo Kuti has penned a heart-melting tribute to his elder brother, Femi Kuti as he clocks 60 today.

“60 hearty cheers to the King. Words escape me on this great day because the joy inside of me can’t be expressed in words alone. Your dedication to your craft and your leadership has been of immense value to your family and the world at large. We celebrate the one true king @femiakuti on this most joyous of days. Arararara!!!!,” he wrote.
Days before his 60th birthday, Femi Kuti was gifted a limited edition of Selmer Paris Alto Supreme 2022 saxophone.
The gift which reportedly costs over €8000 was procured by a committee of family and friends, led by his son, Made Kuti, and his sister, Yeni Kuti.
